Description

U+2EAA is a typographical character known as the CJK Radical Bolt of Cloth, which finds its origins in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. This character serves as a radical in these systems, used to indicate specific meanings or semantic relationships within certain words and phrases. The term "CJK" refers to these three interrelated languages and scripts: Chinese (including both Simplified and Traditional Chinese), Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji), and Korean (Hangul). Although the character may not be widely used in everyday digital text, it holds significance for those studying or working with CJK languages due to its role in providing insight into the structure and etymology of these complex writing systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11946 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+2EAA. 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+2EAA to binary: 00101110 10101010. 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:
    11100010 10111010 10101010
