Description

U+14E0, also known as Canadian Syllabics LWII, is a character in the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in the digital text representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This script is primarily used to transcribe Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian languages, which are indigenous to North America. The Canadian Syllabics LWII character is an integral part of these languages as it represents a specific phonetic value in the syllabic system. Its inclusion in digital text allows for accurate transcription and communication of these languages on various platforms, including websites, documents, and software applications. This character serves a crucial role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Canada's Indigenous peoples while fostering cultural diversity and understanding among different communities.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5344 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+14E0. 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+14E0 to binary: 00010100 11100000. 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 10100000
