U+2F32 "⼲" Kangxi Radical Dry Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2F32 "⼲" Kangxi Radical Dry is a stylized representation of the Kangxi radical number 51, which symbolizes dryness or something parched and is derived from the ancient Chinese character for a shield or a pole used for striking, often depicted as a simple vertical line with a crossbar. This radical is used in the composition of various Chinese characters, where it typically conveys the meaning of being dry, dried up, or lacking moisture, and appears in characters such as 干 (gān), which means dry or to do, and 平 (píng), meaning flat or peaceful. Within the Unicode standard, it serves as a special graphic symbol for the Kangxi radical system, distinct from the standard CJK character 干, to facilitate the representation of traditional radical components in text and dictionaries.
