Description

The character U+2F74, also known as KANGXI RADICAL STAND, holds a unique position in the realm of Unicode and typography. It primarily serves as a reference mark for traditional Chinese characters, assisting in their classification and decomposition. In digital text, it helps to standardize and clarify character meanings by denoting the specific Kangxi radical associated with a particular character. This allows for improved communication and understanding in languages that utilize these complex scripts. U+2F74 is particularly significant within the context of traditional Chinese studies, as it facilitates the accurate identification and breakdown of characters into their constituent components, thereby enhancing both linguistic and cultural knowledge.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12148 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+2F74. 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+2F74 to binary: 00101111 01110100. 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 10110100
