Description

The Unicode character U+2EDD represents the "CJK Radical Eat One" (〇) in digital text. In Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, radicals are fundamental components of characters that provide information on pronunciation and meaning. CJK Radical Eat One is a specific radical used in these scripts, denoting the idea or concept of consuming or eating food. It is primarily employed in the context of character composition where it provides semantic and phonetic information for constructing new characters. While this particular radical may not be widely recognized in the West due to its specialized role in CJK languages, its significance within these scripts is evident as a crucial building block for creating meaningful words and phrases.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11997 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+2EDD. 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+2EDD to binary: 00101110 11011101. 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 10011101
