Description

The Unicode character U+1552, known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS MEDIAL R", is a crucial element in digital text within the context of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This particular character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block, which comprises characters used primarily for written communication in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. However, it holds a unique significance when applied to the script of indigenous peoples in Canada. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics was developed in the early 20th century by missionaries as a way to translate religious texts and teach Christian doctrine to Indigenous communities. This writing system comprises 43 characters, including U+1552, which play a vital role in encoding words within this script. The Unicode character U+1552 is specifically employed in the medial position of syllabics, meaning it sits between two other syllabic characters, acting as a link or connector. U+1552 is notable for its cultural and linguistic significance, providing a means for Indigenous peoples to represent their language digitally. It plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the linguistic diversity and heritage of these communities. By ensuring accurate representation and encoding of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters, including U+1552, digital platforms can facilitate communication, education, and cultural exchange among Indigenous peoples and others interested in their rich heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5458 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+1552. 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+1552 to binary: 00010101 01010010. 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 10010010
