Description

The Unicode character U+2FAA represents the Kangxi Radical Slave (甲骨文奴), a component of ancient Chinese characters. In digital text, this character serves as an essential building block for understanding and interpreting traditional Chinese scripts. The Kangxi Dictionary, compiled during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, classified Chinese characters into 540 radicals or basic strokes. U+2FAA is a part of this classification system, providing cultural, linguistic, and technical context to thousands of characters. The character's usage reflects the importance of radicals in traditional Chinese writing systems, helping scholars and learners alike to grasp the etymological roots and meanings of complex characters. In summary, U+2FAA is a crucial element in digital texts that deal with classical Chinese scripts, offering insights into the ancient Chinese writing system's structure and evolution.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12202 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+2FAA. 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+2FAA to binary: 00101111 10101010. 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 10111110 10101010
