I have an Open Joist 2000 floor framing system. The joists are parallel chord trusses, consisting of solid-sawn lumber top and bottom chords and diagonal and vertical wood web members. Each end of the web members is finger-jointed into the top and bottom chords and glued with an adhesive.

The designation on the joist detail sheet is: 11-7/8UNin 4x2 SPF 2100F 1.8E 23’

What does the UNin mean?
What does the 4x2 mean?
What does 2100F mean? I think this is allowable bending stress, but not sure what the F means.
1.8E is modulus from my understanding.
11 7/8 is member overall depth.

Any help with the aforementioned designation (specifally, decoding it) is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
