Description

U+1507, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS SW, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system. This writing system represents a diverse range of Indigenous languages spoken across Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. U+1507 contributes to the accurate representation of these languages' unique phonological and syllabic structures in digital environments, thus facilitating communication and cultural preservation among Canadian Indigenous communities. The character is a vital component of efforts to revitalize and maintain these languages, which are part of the rich cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples in Canada.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5383 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+1507. 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+1507 to binary: 00010101 00000111. 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 10010100 10000111
