Description

The Unicode character U+2F66, known as the "Kangxi Radical Bolt of Cloth," holds a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realm of typography and Unicode standards. As part of the Kangxi Dictionary, which was created during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in China (1662-1722), this character is one of 508 radicals that form the basis for categorizing Chinese characters. The Bolt of Cloth is particularly important as it denotes the category "fabric" or "clothing," helping to classify and simplify the vast array of Chinese characters in the language. In digital text, U+2F66 helps maintain consistency and clarity when dealing with Chinese character classification.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12134 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+2F66. 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+2F66 to binary: 00101111 01100110. 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 10111101 10100110
