Description

The character U+2EF0, known as the CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED DRAGON, is a crucial element in the realm of typography and digital text, particularly within the context of Chinese characters. This Unicode symbol plays a significant role in representing radicals, which are fundamental components of complex Chinese characters. As a simplified version of the traditional dragon radical, it aids in conveying meaning and facilitating recognition for users who interact with written or digital texts in Chinese languages. CJK RADICAL C-SIMPLIFIED DRAGON is often utilized in text processing systems and software applications that involve language translation or character decomposition, ensuring accurate representation of the intended symbols and characters. In essence, this Unicode character serves as a building block in crafting and understanding written communication in Chinese languages, contributing to its cultural richness and linguistic complexity.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12016 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+2EF0. 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+2EF0 to binary: 00101110 11110000. 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 10110000
