U+2EF3 "⻳" CJK Radical C-Simplified Turtle Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⻳
U+2EF3 "⻳" CJK Radical C-Simplified Turtle is a component of the CJK Radicals Supplement block, representing the simplified form of the traditional radical for "turtle" (龜). This radical is used in East Asian scripts, particularly in simplified Chinese, where it appears as a structural element in a small number of compound characters related to turtles or tortoises. Unlike the full character for turtle, which contains numerous strokes, this radical form is a condensed version intended for use as a building block in dictionaries and character decomposition, retaining the core visual identity of the turtle concept while adhering to simplified calligraphic conventions.
