Description

The character U+1492, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CWE, is a crucial component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. In digital text, this glyph serves to represent specific phonemes or sounds in the Cree and other Algonquian languages. As an essential part of these Indigenous language systems, CANADIAN SYLLABICS CWE enables communication and preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage among Canadian Aboriginal communities. The character is widely used in digital text and information technology applications, particularly within educational and cultural contexts, to ensure the accurate representation and transmission of Canadian Aboriginal languages.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5266 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1492. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1492 to binary: 00010100 10010010. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100001 10010010 10010010
