Description

The Unicode character U+2F6A is known as the "Kangxi Radical Skin". In digital text, this character is primarily used in Chinese language systems, specifically within the context of the Kangxi Dictionary. It serves a fundamental role in categorizing and organizing characters by their radicals or fundamental strokes, which simplifies understanding and searching for specific characters. The Kangxi Dictionary, compiled during the Qing Dynasty under Emperor Kangxi's reign (1662-1722), is one of the most significant Chinese dictionaries ever created, providing a detailed classification system for Chinese characters based on their radicals or basic strokes. This character and its usage play a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic and cultural heritage of China, allowing modern learners and scholars to navigate the complexities of the Chinese language with relative ease.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12138 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+2F6A. 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+2F6A to binary: 00101111 01101010. 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 10101010
