U+2E8F "⺏" CJK Radical Lame Two Unicode Character

U+2E8F "⺏" CJK Radical Lame Two is a graphical component used in the Chinese writing system, specifically within the Kangxi radical set for indexing characters in dictionaries. This radical, meaning "lame" or "crippled," is a variant form found primarily in traditional Chinese characters, often appearing on the left side of a character to indicate a semantic connection to lameness or deformity. It differs from its standard counterpart, the radical "尢" (U+5C22), by having an extra stroke, and it is rarely used as an independent character in modern text, serving instead as a building block in less common or historical compounds.
