Description

The Unicode character U+2FD0, commonly referred to as "Kangxi Radical Nose," plays a vital role in the representation of Chinese characters. It serves as a component in many traditional Chinese characters, specifically in those that are part of the Kangxi radical system. This system, named after the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi, categorizes Chinese characters into 504 components or radicals to facilitate their classification and learning. The "Nose" radical (U+2FD0) represents a specific visual element that can be found in several Chinese characters. In digital text, it helps maintain the accuracy of character representation, ensuring proper context and meaning are preserved when these characters are used for communication or in any technical application requiring precise typography.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12240 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+2FD0. 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+2FD0 to binary: 00101111 11010000. 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 10010000
