Description

U+1675 is the Unicode code point for the Canadian Syllabics NNGA character. In digital text, this character is used to represent a specific syllable in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This writing system was developed by missionaries in the early 20th century and has been adapted and expanded upon by Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly those residing in the Arctic regions. The syllabics are used to write various First Nations languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. Each character represents a unique sound or combination of sounds, allowing for phonetic representation of words in these languages. Despite being largely regional in use, the Canadian Syllabics play an important role in preserving Indigenous culture and language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5749 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+1675. 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+1675 to binary: 00010110 01110101. 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 10011001 10110101
