U+2EE3 "⻣" CJK Radical Bone Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⻣
U+2EE3 "⻣" CJK Radical Bone is the Kangxi radical form for "bone," representing the component used in Chinese characters to convey meanings related to skeletons, structure, or hardness. Found in the CJK Radicals Supplement block, this glyph serves as a simplified, abstracted variant of the standard character 骨 (gǔ), and it appears as a structural element in complex characters like 骼 (skeleton) or 髓 (marrow). Its design typically retains the general shape of a bone with internal strokes, and in the Unicode standard, it functions primarily for indexing and educational purposes, distinguishing it from the full character form used in modern text.
