Description

The Unicode character U+2F1D represents the Kangxi Radical Mouth, a fundamental component of Chinese characters used in traditional Chinese typography. As one of the 560 radicals outlined by the Qing Dynasty scholar Yang Wenhui in his work "Kangxi Zidian," it serves as a reference for understanding and classifying characters. U+2F1D is primarily used in digital text to help users recognize or search for Chinese characters based on their radical compositions, simplifying character identification and improving communication efficiency. In this context, the Kangxi Radical Mouth plays an essential role in preserving and promoting traditional Chinese culture, as well as facilitating language education and computational linguistics research.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12061 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+2F1D. 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+2F1D to binary: 00101111 00011101. 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 10011101
