Description

The Unicode character U+2F69 represents the "Kangxi Radical White" in digital text. This character holds significant importance in the realm of Chinese typography and orthography. It is derived from the Kangxi Dictionary, a comprehensive lexicon compiled during the reign of the Qing Dynasty's Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722), which remains a vital resource for studying traditional Chinese characters. The Kangxi Radical White serves as an indexing element for organizing and categorizing characters in the dictionary, facilitating easier identification and classification. In modern digital text processing, U+2F69 is utilized to maintain the linguistic structure of traditional Chinese texts. It acts as a radical or semantic element that helps differentiate between homophonic characters with varying meanings. Consequently, this character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting China's rich cultural heritage in the context of digital communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12137 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+2F69. 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+2F69 to binary: 00101111 01101001. 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 10101001
