Description

The Unicode character U+1573, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS TYA", is a symbol used primarily in digital text to represent the phonetic element "tya" within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script comprises 24 characters that are used to write various Cree and other Canadian Indigenous languages, such as Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and Dene. U+1573 specifically corresponds to a high back unrounded vowel with a voiced alveolar lateral approximant sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The usage of this character is culturally significant as it preserves and supports Indigenous linguistic heritage, aiding in the transmission of oral traditions and knowledge across generations. In technical terms, U+1573 is part of the Unicode block 'Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics', which contains 24 characters, ranging from U+14A0 to U+14FF.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5491 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+1573. 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+1573 to binary: 00010101 01110011. 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 10110011
