U+16FF3 "ð–¿³" Chinese Small Traditional Er Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¿³
U+16FF3 "ð–¿³" Chinese Small Traditional Er is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, encoded in 2021 as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension H block. It represents a small traditional form of the Chinese character "å„¿" (ér), which typically means "son" or serves as a radical. This specific glyph is a component used historically in older, non-standardized Chinese writing, found in manuscript traditions and certain historical texts where the "kid" radical was written in a smaller, more stylized version that differs from the modern mainstream character. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars and archivists can digitally represent these nuanced orthographic variants.
