Description

The Unicode character U+2EE3, also known as "CJK RADICAL BONE," is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its primary function is to denote radicals in the Wenlin system of character decomposition, a method used for analyzing complex characters into their constituent parts or radicals. In this context, the CJK RADICAL BONE serves as an indicator for identifying the bone-shaped radical within a given character. By understanding the structure and composition of characters through this decomposition process, users can more easily look up the meaning, pronunciation, and usage of individual elements within a complex character. The CJK RADICAL BONE holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in the realm of CJK digital text, as it facilitates efficient and accurate communication by allowing users to dissect and recombine characters according to their understanding.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12003 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+2EE3. 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+2EE3 to binary: 00101110 11100011. 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 10111011 10100011
