Description

The Unicode character U+2F9B, Kangxi Radical Run, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text representation. It is an essential element within the Chinese character system, specifically serving as a component for forming more complex characters. The Kangxi Radical Run primarily consists of the 214 Kangxi radicals, which are basic strokes or symbols that constitute the building blocks for thousands of Chinese characters. These radicals help in categorizing and organizing Chinese characters, facilitating their understanding and usage. In digital text processing, U+2F9B plays a crucial role in accurately representing and encoding traditional Chinese characters. This character is part of the Unicode Standard, which promotes consistency and compatibility across various platforms and devices. The Kangxi Radical Run contributes to preserving cultural heritage, linguistic accuracy, and facilitating communication among speakers of different Chinese dialects and around the world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12187 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+2F9B. 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+2F9B to binary: 00101111 10011011. 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:
