U+2E9D "⺝" CJK Radical Moon Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2E9D "⺝" CJK Radical Moon is a variant form of the "moon" radical used in Chinese character composition, functioning as the bottom component in certain complex characters. It represents the element of the moon or month and is part of the Kangxi Radicals block, specifically classified under radical number 74. Unlike the more common left-side moon radical (月), this particular design appears at the base of characters such as 有 (yǒu, meaning "to have" or "there is") and 青 (qīng, meaning "green" or "blue"), where it contributes to the semantic structure. This radical is distinct from the standard moon radical primarily in its placement within the character, but it carries the same fundamental meaning and usage in written Chinese.
