Description

The character U+2FCD, known as the Kangxi Radical Triped, plays a significant role in digital typography, specifically within the context of the Chinese writing system. It is part of the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Lei Din-t'ao during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722). This character serves as a radical in Chinese character classification, grouping together characters that share similar structural components or semantic roots. In digital text, the Kangxi Radical Triped is used to categorize and organize characters, streamlining the process of searching and indexing complex texts. By understanding the relationships between characters and their radicals, users can more efficiently navigate and comprehend Chinese language materials in both written and digital formats.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12237 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+2FCD. 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+2FCD to binary: 00101111 11001101. 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 10111111 10001101
