Description

The character U+145D, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS TWO," is a significant symbol within the realm of digital text, specifically in the context of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script, which primarily comprises 21 characters, was developed by missionaries and educators to represent the various indigenous languages across Canada in written form. U+145D, as a part of this unique script, plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting these diverse linguistic expressions. The character represents the syllable "wa," which is frequently utilized in Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other indigenous languages spoken across Canada. Its primary usage lies within digital text platforms, such as websites and applications designed to support multilingual content, allowing for inclusive communication among speakers of these languages. By incorporating U+145D and the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script into their platforms, companies and organizations can respect and celebrate the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity within Canada's indigenous communities.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5213 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+145D. 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+145D to binary: 00010100 01011101. 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 10011101
