Description

The Unicode character U+14AC, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS MWE, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a unique phonetic symbol within the Canadian Syllabics script. This script is an essential component of Indigenous languages in Canada, particularly among the Cree and Ojibwe-speaking communities. The character's use allows for accurate transcription and communication of these languages in digital platforms, fostering the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous cultural heritage. As a specialized typographical element, U+14AC contributes to linguistic diversity and supports the representation of marginalized voices within the realm of digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5292 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+14AC. 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+14AC to binary: 00010100 10101100. 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 10101100
