Description

U+14B0, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS MWII, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent a specific sound or phoneme in the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This writing system is primarily used for the Indigenous languages of Canada, including Ojibwe, Cree, and Inuktitut, among others. The U+14B0 character plays a crucial role in digital text representation, facilitating accurate communication and preservation of these linguistic traditions in the modern era of technology. As an integral part of the Canadian Syllabics writing system, the U+14B0 character allows for the precise representation of specific phonemes, which are essential to convey meaning within the context of these Indigenous languages. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard highlights the ongoing efforts to support and promote linguistic diversity and cultural heritage worldwide.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5296 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+14B0. 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+14B0 to binary: 00010100 10110000. 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 10110000
