Description

The Kangxi Radical Wheat (U+2FC6) is a unique character in the Unicode Standard, primarily used in the representation of Chinese characters. As part of the Kangxi Dictionary, it serves as a reference for the composition of traditional Chinese characters. This radical symbolizes the basic meaning of "wheat" and is used to categorize and group characters based on their shared semantic or phonetic components. The character's role in digital text is essential for maintaining accuracy in text processing and search applications, particularly in the context of historical documents, linguistic research, and computerized resources related to the Chinese language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12230 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+2FC6. 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+2FC6 to binary: 00101111 11000110. 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 10000110
