Description

The character U+1553, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS FE, is an essential glyph within the Canadian Syllabics Unicode block. This typographic symbol plays a vital role in digital text, as it serves to represent unique phonemes specific to the Cree, Ojibwe, and other indigenous languages of Canada. The character's use is predominantly found within linguistic, cultural, and educational contexts where these First Nations' languages are spoken or taught. In these instances, the accurate representation of CANADIAN SYLLABICS FE enables effective communication and preservation of linguistic heritage, thus contributing to the richness and diversity of Canadian culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5459 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+1553. 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+1553 to binary: 00010101 01010011. 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 10010101 10010011
