Description

The Unicode character U+2E81 represents the "CJK Radical Cliff" (also known as Chinese character radical 水, in Simplified Chinese). This character is an essential part of the Chinese writing system and has been widely used for centuries to categorize and structure Chinese characters. In the context of digital text, it serves as a reference for students, educators, and researchers to understand the fundamental components and meanings of complex characters. U+2E81 belongs to the CJK Extensions C Unicode block, which comprises additional radicals used in Chinese character composition. The character is primarily used in East Asian countries where Chinese characters are utilized, including China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, making it an important part of their linguistic and cultural heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11905 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+2E81. 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+2E81 to binary: 00101110 10000001. 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 10000001
