Description

The Unicode character U+14F5 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAA" in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This unique symbol is part of a set of characters used to represent the oral languages of the First Nations and Inuit peoples of Canada. Its typical usage in digital text involves encoding and displaying content in these Indigenous languages, allowing for the preservation and promotion of their cultural heritage. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block comprises 163 characters (U+14A0 to U+16FF), which include letters, diacritics, and punctuation specific to these languages. Although relatively obscure outside of Canada's Indigenous communities, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAA holds significant linguistic and cultural importance within those communities, reflecting their rich history and traditions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5365 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+14F5. 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+14F5 to binary: 00010100 11110101. 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 10010011 10110101
