Description

The Unicode character U+152A, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS YO, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a unique character in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This script is primarily used for written communication among Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly those residing in the Arctic regions such as the Inuit, Cree, and Ojibwe communities. The character U+152A represents the phonetic value "y" or "yo" in these languages, which is essential for constructing words and phrases within this context. Its inclusion in digital text facilitates the preservation and promotion of Indigenous Canadian culture, language, and identity through written communication. In terms of technical context, U+152A follows the standard Unicode encoding system, ensuring its compatibility across various platforms and devices for accurate representation and proper functioning within digital applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5418 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+152A. 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+152A to binary: 00010101 00101010. 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 10101010
