U+2E9C "⺜" CJK Radical Sun Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⺜
U+2E9C "⺜" CJK Radical Sun is a variant form of the radical for "sun" or "day" (日) used in traditional Chinese character dictionaries and in the composition of certain complex characters. It appears as a component in characters such as "旦" (dawn) and "早" (early), where it retains the semantic meaning of light, time, or the sun itself. Unlike the full form of the character 日, this radical is commonly found in a flattened, narrower shape when placed atop other elements, serving as a lexicographic reference in the Kangxi radical system.
