Description

The Unicode character U+1414, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOO, is a symbol used primarily in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. In this system, each character represents a distinct sound or phoneme, which allows for the representation and transmission of words, sentences, and texts in various Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. The role of U+1414 in digital text is essential, as it contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of Indigenous cultural heritage, language, and knowledge. CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOO has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, particularly within the context of Canadian Aboriginal communities, where it serves as a vital tool for maintaining and revitalizing their oral traditions and written expressions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5140 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+1414. 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+1414 to binary: 00010100 00010100. 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 10010000 10010100
