The character serves as an integral part of the phonetic and linguistic system employed by speakers of this language, allowing for the representation and communication of specific syllables unique to the Cree dialect. As a typographical element, U+145C contributes to the preservation and propagation of West-Cree culture, facilitating digital documentation and learning resources for both native speakers and linguists alike. The character's precise use in digital text is contingent upon its cultural and linguistic context, ensuring accuracy and authenticity in the representation of the West-Cree language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5212 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+145C. 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+145C to binary: 00010100 01011100. 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 10011100
