Description

The Unicode character U+2E80, known as the CJK Radical Repeat, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text within Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages. Its primary role is to denote a repetitive pattern or structure in a character or word, often in the context of radicals, which are fundamental components of these writing systems. The CJK Radical Repeat is part of the Unicode Standard, specifically within the "CJK Extensions A" block, and contributes to the richness and diversity of written expression in these languages. While this character may not be as commonly used as others in daily communication, it plays a significant role in linguistic analysis and the understanding of the etymology of CJK characters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11904 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+2E80. 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+2E80 to binary: 00101110 10000000. 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:
