Description

U+329B is a character from the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, representing "CIRCLED IDEOGRAPH FEMALE" (妇). It is primarily used in digital text to denote the concept of woman or wife. The character holds significant cultural and linguistic importance in Chinese writing systems, as it is one of the 214 basic Kangxi radicals which constitute most of the Chinese characters. U+329B serves as a key element in many compound characters, particularly those related to family relationships and domestic life, such as "husband" (夫), "wife" (妻), and "son-in-law" (子婦). In typography, the character is typically represented in square or round form, with its modern appearance featuring a woman holding an infant, symbolizing the nurturing role of women. While U+329B may not be widely used in digital text outside of Chinese language contexts, it remains an essential component in Chinese orthography and an important element for those studying or working with Chinese characters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12955 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+329B. 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+329B to binary: 00110010 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:
    11100011 10001010 10011011
