Description

The Unicode character U+31DA is known as CJK STROKE SG (CJK Stroke "Sang" or "Shan" Glyph). This typographical element plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realms of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts. Its primary usage lies in the representation of a visual stroke that could potentially be found in various traditional calligraphic characters. However, it doesn't hold any inherent meaning by itself but serves as a component in composite characters. The character may appear to be a stroke from certain Chinese characters such as "宋" or "叱". Despite its lack of standalone semantic value, U+31DA contributes to the aesthetic and structural integrity of written text in CJK scripts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12762 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+31DA. 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+31DA to binary: 00110001 11011010. 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:
    11100011 10000111 10011010
