Description

The Unicode character U+2F62 is known as the Kangxi Radical Sweet. This character holds significant value in the realm of typography and digital text, specifically within Chinese text systems. In the context of Chinese characters, Kangxi Radicals are a system of classification for Chinese characters that were established by the Qing Dynasty scholar, Zhang Yuyu. They serve as an aid to memory when learning Chinese characters by grouping them into categories based on their primary radical, which is typically the most identifiable part of the character. The Kangxi Radical Sweet, U+2F62, represents a fundamental element in this system and is used to classify certain Chinese characters that contain this particular radical or its meaning. In digital text, U+2F62 can be employed as an indicator for searching or sorting characters based on their associated Kangxi Radicals.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12130 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+2F62. 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+2F62 to binary: 00101111 01100010. 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 10100010
