U+2EC3 "⻃" CJK Radical West One Unicode Character

U+2EC3 "⻃" CJK Radical West One is a variant form of the radical for "west," used in the Chinese writing system as a component of more complex characters. It belongs to the CJK Radicals Supplement block, where it encodes a simplified or alternative shape of the standard radical 覀 or 西. This radical often conveys meanings related to the west, direction, or concepts of covering and encompassing, and is found in characters like 要 or 票. Unlike the full character 西, this radical variant is typically used only as a left side component and is distinct from the similar looking radical for "one" or "cover."
