U+2F2E "⼮" Kangxi Radical River Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⼮
U+2F2E "⼮" Kangxi Radical River is a representation of the Chinese radical meaning "river," which is number 47 in the Kangxi radical system and is used as a component in various Chinese characters related to water, flowing bodies, or waterways. This radical is stylized from the ancient pictograph of a river or stream, typically appearing on the left side of a character as a three stroke element that suggests flowing water, and it is essential for writing words such as "river" (江) and "lake" (湖). In Unicode, it is encoded in the Kangxi Radicals block to serve as a distinct reference for this specific radical, distinct from the similar looking character "氵" which is the water radical form used in modern CJK text.
