Description

The Unicode character U+14D6 represents the "Canadian Syllabics LII" in digital text. This symbol is part of a set of characters designed to represent the Cree, Ojibwa, Inuktitut, and other Indigenous languages of Canada. Canadian syllabics are a unique writing system that utilizes symbols to represent phonemes, or distinct sounds, in these languages. Each character typically represents either a consonant-vowel pair or a vowel in Cree, Inuktitut, and other related languages. The U+14D6 symbol is used in digital text for accurate representation of Indigenous languages in various software applications, websites, and documents. Its primary role is to support the preservation and revitalization of these languages by providing a reliable method for encoding and transmitting their unique phonetic structure.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5334 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+14D6. 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+14D6 to binary: 00010100 11010110. 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 10010011 10010110
