U+2EC2 "⻂" CJK Radical Clothes Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2EC2 "⻂" CJK Radical Clothes is a graphical representation of the clothing radical that appears in the Chinese writing system, serving as a simplified form of the traditional "衣" (yī) radical. Found in the CJK Radicals Supplement block, this character is used as a visual component in complex Chinese characters, typically occupying the left side of a character to convey meaning related to clothing, fabric, or garments. Its design reflects a stylized depiction of a collar or robe, and it is distinct from the full character "衣" in that it is a dedicated radical form, not a standalone word. This radical helps readers and learners recognize that a character like "衫" (shān, shirt) or "裙" (qún, skirt) pertains to clothing, making it an essential element for understanding the semantic structure of many Chinese characters.
