Description

The Unicode character U+144C represents the Canadian Syllabics TE (U+144C). This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 86 characters that cover various indigenous languages spoken in Canada. In digital text, U+144C typically serves as a phonetic symbol for the consonant-vowel sequence /t/. The Canadian Syllabics script is widely used in the education and preservation of Indigenous languages, including Ojibwe, Cree, Inuktitut, and others. U+144C, along with other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters, play a crucial role in promoting cultural heritage and linguistic diversity by enabling accurate representation of these indigenous languages in digital communication platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5196 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+144C. 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+144C to binary: 00010100 01001100. 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 10010001 10001100
