Description

U+2FBE, also known as Kangxi Radical Fight, is a character in the Unicode standard. It is primarily used in the study of Chinese characters to classify their components according to their structural features, as part of the Kangxi Dictionary's radical system. The radical system helps simplify the learning process for Chinese characters by grouping them based on their components, providing a way for learners to identify similarities and differences among characters. This classification system is particularly useful in the field of linguistics and sinology, as it allows for a more organized and efficient method of studying the vast and complex Chinese language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12222 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+2FBE. 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+2FBE to binary: 00101111 10111110. 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 10111110 10111110
