Description

The Kangxi Radical Dish (U+2F6B) is a character used in digital text, particularly within the realm of Sinography, which refers to the study of Chinese characters. It is a part of the Kangxi Dictionary compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gengyu, which serves as a foundational reference for understanding and classifying Chinese characters. In this context, the character represents the Kangxi Radical "Dish", indicating that the character in question belongs to the category of symbols denoting containers or vessels. It does not have a direct phonetic or semantic value on its own but plays a crucial role in categorizing and grouping Chinese characters according to their meaning, sound, or other characteristics. This method assists in deciphering the meanings and pronunciations of complex characters, thus preserving cultural, linguistic, and technical context in written Chinese communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12139 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+2F6B. 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+2F6B to binary: 00101111 01101011. 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 10101011
