Description

The Unicode character U+31D7 is known as CJK STROKE SZ. This typographical symbol serves a crucial role in digital text, primarily within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. Its primary function is to denote the correct stroke order for characters in these languages, where the stroke order is critical for the precise interpretation of symbols. The CJK STROKE SZ character assists calligraphers, typographers, and students in learning and teaching correct stroke sequences, ensuring the accurate representation and transmission of ideas across different media. This symbol reflects the importance of cultural and linguistic context in digital text, as well as the technical considerations necessary for effective communication within the CJK writing systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12759 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+31D7. 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+31D7 to binary: 00110001 11010111. 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 10010111
