Description

U+1447, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE PWAA, is a character from the Unicode standard that represents a specific syllable in the West-Cree language. In digital text, this character is often used for encoding and display purposes to ensure accurate representation of the West-Cree language in various software applications and online platforms. The West-Cree language is an Algonquian language spoken primarily by the Cree people in parts of Canada, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Unicode's support for characters like U+1447 enables preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage by providing a reliable way to encode and exchange text in these languages over the internet and other digital platforms.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5191 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+1447. 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+1447 to binary: 00010100 01000111. 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 10000111
