Description

The Unicode character U+2E84, also known as CJK RADICAL SECOND THREE, is a specialized character used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) typography. Its primary role lies within the context of traditional Chinese characters, where it serves as a radical or component of more complex characters. Specifically, it represents the "second three" radical, which consists of three strokes, making it an important tool for understanding and dissecting intricate Chinese characters into their constituent parts. This character can be found in dictionaries, character reference materials, and software used for writing and editing traditional Chinese text. The use of U+2E84 is particularly prevalent within the realm of linguistic studies, as it aids in the accurate representation and breakdown of characters, facilitating a deeper understanding of the language's etymology and structure.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11908 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+2E84. 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+2E84 to binary: 00101110 10000100. 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:
