Description

U+1530, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE YWE, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. It belongs to the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which encompasses characters representing phonetic symbols of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. These characters are widely used in the Cree, Inuit, and Ojibwe languages, among other Indigenous languages of Canada. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE YWE character is employed in digital text to represent a distinct syllable or sound unit within these languages. Its usage enables communication and preservation of the rich cultural heritage and oral traditions of Indigenous communities across Canada. The character plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of literature, education materials, and electronic resources in West-Cree and other Canadian Aboriginal languages, thereby promoting linguistic revitalization and cultural awareness. In terms of technical context, U+1530 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, or glyph used in digital text. This enables accurate rendering, processing, and interchange of text data across different platforms, applications, and devices, thereby facilitating seamless communication and collaboration within and among diverse linguistic communities.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5424 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+1530. 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+1530 to binary: 00010101 00110000. 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 10010100 10110000
