Description

The Unicode character U+2E85 is designated as the "CJK RADICAL PERSON." This specific symbol plays a vital role in digital text, particularly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. Its primary function lies in the construction of complex characters, where it serves as a radical or a component element. In these contexts, the U+2E85 character typically represents a person, often depicted as a human-like figure with distinct features. This symbol has its roots deeply embedded in ancient Chinese culture and language, and its use is prevalent in digital texts, particularly those written in traditional characters. The accurate representation of this symbol contributes to the preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage, making it an essential element for Unicode character sets.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11909 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+2E85. 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+2E85 to binary: 00101110 10000101. 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 10000101
