U+2F27 "⼧" Kangxi Radical Roof Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⼧
U+2F27 "⼧" Kangxi Radical Roof is a graphic representation of the 40th radical in the Kangxi system of Chinese character classification, which conveys the meaning of "roof" or "covering." It is derived from the shape of a sloping eaves of a traditional building and is used as a semantic component in Chinese characters, often appearing at the top of a character to suggest concepts related to shelter, houses, or containment. In modern Unicode text, it serves as a distinct symbol for indexing and referring to this radical in historical and linguistic contexts, separate from its use as a writing component in actual Chinese characters.
