Description

The Unicode character U+2ED6, CJK Radical Mound Two, is an essential component in the Chinese writing system. In digital text, it serves as a radical in the composition of Chinese characters, specifically signifying the concept of 'mound' or 'hill.' This radical is vital in understanding and interpreting various Chinese characters that incorporate this element. CJK Radical Mound Two is part of the broader CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent the vast majority of characters used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. The accurate and consistent representation of these characters is crucial for maintaining the cultural and linguistic integrity of these languages in digital communication and text processing.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11990 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+2ED6. 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+2ED6 to binary: 00101110 11010110. 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 10010110
