Description

U+1592 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS NGOO) is a character within the Unicode Standard that holds significance in digital text for its role in representing certain phonetic elements of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. As a part of the Unicode system, this character ensures the accurate representation and transmission of these characters across various platforms, devices, and applications. The NGOO syllable symbol is one of 21 distinct syllables in the Cree language, which falls under the broader category of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This script system was developed by missionaries during the late 19th century to facilitate religious communication with Indigenous peoples across Canada. Over time, it has become a crucial tool for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and cultural identity among First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. The technical context of U+1592 includes its classification under the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" Unicode block (U+1400 to U+167F), which encompasses characters from various First Nations languages, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and Michif. The character's usage in digital text is primarily for the encoding of phonetic information within these languages. In summary, U+1592 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS NGOO) plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and transmission of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters across various platforms and devices, supporting linguistic diversity and cultural preservation among Indigenous communities in Canada.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5522 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+1592. 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+1592 to binary: 00010101 10010010. 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 10010010
