Description

U+1452 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE TOO) is a typographic character from the Unicode standard, specifically designated for digital text representation. In its typical usage, this character serves as a fundamental unit in the Cree language, which is part of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. The Cree language is widely spoken by Indigenous peoples across Canada and forms an integral aspect of their cultural heritage. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE TOO character represents a sound or phoneme in the Cree language, playing a vital role in its linguistic structure. These characters are used to write various dialects within the Cree family, including Eastern Cree, Western Cree, and others. As an essential component of the Canadian Syllabics writing system, U+1452 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE TOO) contributes to preserving and promoting Indigenous languages in Canada, which are facing threats from language shift and cultural assimilation. The Unicode standard ensures that digital text containing these characters is encoded consistently across different platforms, software, and devices, thereby maintaining the integrity of the Canadian Syllabics Y-Cree Too character and other similar characters. This consistency in representation helps to facilitate communication and support the revitalization of Indigenous languages within digital environments.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5202 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+1452. 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+1452 to binary: 00010100 01010010. 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 10010010
