Description

The Unicode character U+2F2D, known as the "Kangxi Radical Mountain," holds a significant role in digital typography and text representation. As a component of Chinese characters, it serves as a semantic radical or a building block for forming complex characters. Its primary usage lies within the Kangxi Dictionary, which is an authoritative reference work for classical Chinese characters. The character is derived from the Kangxi era (1662-1722) and represents a mountainous terrain, reflecting its importance in ancient Chinese culture and geography. In digital text, the U+2F2D symbol aids in maintaining linguistic integrity by providing an accurate representation of the original character. This contributes to improved readability and comprehension for users, while also facilitating language processing tasks for translation services and software applications. Overall, the Kangxi Radical Mountain is a crucial element in preserving cultural, linguistic, and technical context within the digital realm.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12077 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+2F2D. 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+2F2D to binary: 00101111 00101101. 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:
