Description

The Unicode character U+2FD1 represents the Kangxi Radical Even (甲彗). It is a key element in the Chinese character classification system, specifically within the Kangxi Dictionary. In digital text, it serves as a reference marker for grouping characters with similar components or meanings. The Kangxi Radical Even is an important aspect of traditional Chinese typography and its use in the Kangxi Dictionary has had significant influence on the study and understanding of the Chinese language. By categorizing characters based on their radicals, it allows for easier classification, lookup, and analysis, thus enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of digital text processing in Chinese.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12241 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+2FD1. 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+2FD1 to binary: 00101111 11010001. 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 10010001
