Description

The character U+1493, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE CWE, is an important component of the Canadian Syllabics encoding set in Unicode. This specific character represents a phonetic symbol in the West-Cree dialect and plays a crucial role in digital text for Indigenous languages of Canada. In its typical usage, it aids in representing the distinct sounds and syllables within the Cree language, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage. The character is deeply embedded in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, as it helps bridge the gap between traditional oral expressions and modern digital technology.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5267 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+1493. 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+1493 to binary: 00010100 10010011. 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 10010010 10010011
