U+2F03 "⼃" Kangxi Radical Slash Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2F03 "⼃" Kangxi Radical Slash is a representation of the graphic element known as a "slash" or diagonal stroke, which functions as Radical 221 in the Kangxi system of Chinese radical classification. Unlike most radicals that carry specific semantic meaning, this one primarily serves as a structural component in certain characters, often indicating a diagonal line or an oblique mark that can denote division, exclusion, or a directional stroke within the composition of a logograph. While it appears in some historical and modern Chinese characters, it is relatively rare as an independent radical and is more commonly encountered in specialized calligraphy or digital text encoding contexts where exact reproduction of traditional dictionary entries is required.
