Description

U+2FCB, known as Kangxi Radical Embroidery, is a unique Unicode character primarily utilized within the Chinese language. It serves as an essential component in traditional Chinese typography, specifically for classifying and organizing characters. In digital text, its primary role is to assist in the classification of Chinese characters based on their structure and radicals, thereby simplifying the process of locating specific characters or understanding their meanings. The Kangxi Radical Embroidery holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to its historical roots. It is part of a comprehensive system devised by the famous Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Gengxu, which classifies Chinese characters into 540 radicals or "Kangxi Radicals." This classification system, named after Kangxi Emperor, enhances the readability and understanding of Chinese text, facilitating efficient communication in this vast language. In summary, U+2FCB, or Kangxi Radical Embroidery, is a crucial element in the realm of digital typography, specifically within the context of the Chinese language. It acts as an identifier for classifying and organizing characters, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of textual communication in this rich linguistic landscape.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12235 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+2FCB. 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+2FCB to binary: 00101111 11001011. 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 10111111 10001011
