U+2E80 "⺀" CJK Radical Repeat Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2E80 "⺀" CJK Radical Repeat is a typographic component used within the Chinese writing system, specifically as a simplified or alternate form of the traditional radical known as "repeat" or "again." It is derived from the ideogram for "again" or "to repeat" and is often found in compound characters where it contributes the idea of repetition or doubling. This radical is encoded in the CJK Radicals Supplement block, which provides distinctive shapes for the set of radicals used in the Kangxi dictionary and later in simplified Chinese character dictionaries. Its appearance is a stylized, two-stroke glyph that resembles a small "U" shape, and it serves both as a notational and etymological building block in the analysis and representation of East Asian characters.
