Description

The Unicode character U+1548, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS RO, is a unique symbol used primarily in digital text. It holds significant importance within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding standard, which comprises 21 characters and is utilized for written communication among Indigenous peoples in Canada. This set of symbols was developed by missionaries in the early 19th century to facilitate translation work and has since evolved into an essential tool for linguistic preservation and revitalization efforts. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS RO character, in particular, is crucial for representing specific syllables in this script. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, U+1548 contributes to the rich tapestry of Canada's multicultural heritage by serving as a vital component of Indigenous language expression and communication in digital spaces.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5448 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+1548. 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+1548 to binary: 00010101 01001000. 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 10010101 10001000
