Description

The Unicode character U+2FD5, known as the Kangxi Radical Flute, holds a significant place in the realm of typography and digital text. As one of the 214 Kangxi radicals used in Chinese characters, it represents the conceptual element found in specific characters within the Chinese script. Typically employed in this context, U+2FD5 serves as a building block to construct meaning from individual characters, contributing to a larger lexical and semantic structure. Its usage is deeply rooted in the rich cultural history of China, where these radicals have been used for centuries as a tool for teaching and learning Chinese characters, offering an organized approach to understanding the language's complex system. U+2FD5, representing the Flute radical, can be found in several commonly used Chinese characters, including those related to music or melodious sounds. In summary, U+2FD5, the Kangxi Radical Flute, plays a crucial role in digital text by acting as a structural and conceptual foundation for the Chinese language, reflecting its historical and cultural significance.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12245 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+2FD5. 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+2FD5 to binary: 00101111 11010101. 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 10010101
