Description

The Unicode character U+2EBB, also known as CJK RADICAL BRUSH TWO, primarily serves a role in digital text for representing the radical brush two symbol in Chinese characters. This symbol, which is part of the larger set of Kangxi radicals used in traditional Chinese literature and lexicography, comprises two strokes arranged in a specific configuration. The character is commonly utilized in the context of character classification and composition in Chinese language studies, as well as in dictionaries and glossaries. In the realm of digital typography, U+2EBB is vital for maintaining accuracy and authenticity when rendering traditional Chinese texts on electronic devices or software that supports Unicode input. Although its use may be less prevalent in modern computing systems due to the growing popularity of simplified Chinese characters, U+2EBB remains an essential symbol for those working with classical literature, historical documents, or other resources that rely on traditional Chinese script.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11963 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+2EBB. 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+2EBB to binary: 00101110 10111011. 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 10111011
