U+2EB7 "⺷" CJK Radical Ram Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⺷
U+2EB7 "⺷" CJK Radical Ram is a component of the Kangxi radical system used in Chinese character dictionaries, specifically representing the radical for "ram" or "sheep." This radical, derived from the ancient pictograph of a sheep's head with curved horns, appears in the upper portion of complex characters where it contributes meanings related to wool, softness, or animal references, such as in the character for "beautiful" (美) which combines ram with "big." It is part of the supplementary CJK radicals block in Unicode, serving as an alternate form of the standard Kangxi radical 123 (羊) used in modern and historical Chinese writing.
