Description

U+1570 is the Unicode code point for CANADIAN SYLLABICS TYE, a character primarily used within digital text for representing a specific phoneme in the Cree language, one of the many languages encompassed by the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis populations across Canada. The Cree syllabics were created by missionaries in the 19th century to aid in literacy among Indigenous communities who primarily relied on oral tradition. As part of the Canadian Syllabics, TYE plays a vital role in maintaining cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity within these communities. The character is also used in digital typography, particularly in software applications designed for indigenous languages, to ensure accurate representation and communication of these unique scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5488 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+1570. 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+1570 to binary: 00010101 01110000. 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 10110000
