Description

The character U+2F08 represents the Kangxi Radical Man (夷) in Unicode, a widely adopted standard for encoding characters across various languages and scripts. This radical is primarily used in Chinese linguistics and character decomposition, specifically within the context of the Kangxi Dictionary. It serves as a semantic component in the composition of certain Chinese characters, helping to denote the meaning associated with the Man radical (夷). The Kangxi Radical Man plays a crucial role in understanding the etymology and historical development of various Chinese characters, while also facilitating the process of character lookup and analysis. In digital text, it is commonly used by sinologists, linguists, and students of Chinese language to gain insights into the structure and evolution of Chinese characters.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12040 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+2F08. 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+2F08 to binary: 00101111 00001000. 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 10111100 10001000
