U+2EC7 "⻇" CJK Radical Horn Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⻇
U+2EC7 "⻇" CJK Radical Horn is a component of the Chinese writing system, representing the radical for "horn" or "antler," often found in characters related to horns, angles, or pointed objects. This radical is a variant of the more common form 角, and it appears as a simplified or stylized element within complex characters in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) script. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK Radicals Supplement block helps encode these historical and structural components for digital text, preserving a key building block of East Asian orthography.
