Description

The character U+1595, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NG, holds a significant position within the digital text realm, specifically in the context of the Canadian Indigenous languages. This particular character is part of the Unicode Standard, which encompasses an extensive library of characters from various writing systems around the globe, including the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. U+1595 is a key component in representing and preserving the linguistic heritage of Canada's Indigenous communities. Its role extends beyond just typography to become a vital element in fostering cultural identity and promoting the revitalization of these languages, which are often under threat due to language shift and assimilation. By accurately rendering syllabic structures through this character, digital text becomes more inclusive and accessible to a diverse range of linguistic groups, thereby enriching the tapestry of human communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5525 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+1595. 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+1595 to binary: 00010101 10010101. 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 10010110 10010101
