Description

The Unicode character U+2F79 represents the "Kangxi Radical Net" in digital texts. This symbol is predominantly used in the classification of Chinese characters according to their structural components known as Kangxi radicals. Developed during the Qing Dynasty, these radicals help simplify the process of learning and understanding complex Chinese characters by breaking them down into more manageable parts. The Kangxi Radical Net specifically represents one of the 501 Kangxi radicals, which are still widely used in modern-day Chinese linguistic studies and dictionaries. In a digital context, U+2F79 is utilized to accurately represent this essential aspect of traditional Chinese orthography, enabling seamless communication across languages and cultures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12153 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+2F79. 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+2F79 to binary: 00101111 01111001. 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 10111101 10111001
