U+2EC6 "⻆" CJK Radical Simplified Horn Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⻆
U+2EC6 "⻆" CJK Radical Simplified Horn is a graphical component used in the written Chinese language, specifically as a simplified form of the traditional "horn" radical. It serves as a building block for other characters, often conveying meanings related to horns, angles, or corners in the context of Chinese script. This radical is part of the Kangxi radicals, a system of 214 radicals used for indexing Chinese characters, and its simplified version reflects the modern standardized writing system adopted in mainland China. In practical use, "⻆" appears in characters such as "解" (to untie or explain) and "角" (horn or angle), where it provides a visual and semantic foundation for the character's meaning.
