Description

The Unicode character U+319F, also known as IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION MAN MARK, serves a unique role in digital text by representing a human figure often used to annotate Chinese texts. It is primarily employed in the field of typography and linguistics where it assists readers in understanding textual content. This specific character holds cultural significance in East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea, where it plays an integral part in traditional print culture and literature. The IDEOGRAPHIC ANNOTATION MAN MARK is not merely a decorative element; rather, it functions as a semantic marker denoting the presence of certain meanings or connotations within a given text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12703 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+319F. 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+319F to binary: 00110001 10011111. 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 10000110 10011111
