Description

U+14BA, the Canadian Syllabics Naskapi MWAA character, is a vital component of the Naskapi language's digital representation. As part of the Unicode standard, it enables accurate and consistent encoding of the Naskapi syllabics in digital text. The Naskapi are an indigenous people residing in the province of Quebec, Canada, and their language, Naskapi, is a member of the Algonquian family. U+14BA serves as a critical tool for preserving and promoting the Naskapi culture and language by facilitating communication and documentation in both digital and traditional contexts. The use of this character reflects an ongoing effort to respect and maintain linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, contributing to the broader goals of inclusivity and representation in global communications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5306 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+14BA. 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+14BA to binary: 00010100 10111010. 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 10111010
