Description

The Unicode character U+2E9B, known as the CJK Radical Choke, is a specialized symbol used predominantly within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language systems. In digital text, this glyph serves a vital role in lexicography and linguistic study, particularly in the context of radical-and-stroke analysis of characters. The CJK Radical Choke represents a specific radical or semantic element that can be found within a character's composition. For instance, it may signify the idea of "choke" or "throat" when used in association with certain characters. This intricate symbol adds depth and complexity to the understanding of these language systems, enriching both linguistic and cultural knowledge.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11931 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+2E9B. 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+2E9B to binary: 00101110 10011011. 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 10011011
