Description

The Unicode character U+2FAE, referred to as "KANGXI RADICAL WRONG," holds significant value in the realm of digital text. It is part of a series of Chinese characters based on the Kangxi Dictionary (康熙字典), which was compiled during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The character serves as an essential element in various traditional Chinese texts, acting as a radical or an indicator of meaning for other characters. Its usage in digital text is primarily focused on maintaining the integrity and authenticity of classical Chinese literature. U+2FAE does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its role as part of the Kangxi Dictionary character set. The character is crucial in preserving the accurate representation of historical texts and ensuring that future generations can access and understand these important works.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12206 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+2FAE. 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+2FAE to binary: 00101111 10101110. 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 10111110 10101110
