U+2F3A "⼺" Kangxi Radical Bristle Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2F3A "⼺" Kangxi Radical Bristle is a stylized representation of the radical number 58 from the Kangxi system, which historically denotes a bristle or a stiff hair, often used in Chinese characters to convey concepts related to brushes, bristle-like items, or rough texture. This radical is derived from the ancient Chinese writing system and appears in the composition of traditional and simplified characters, where it can function as a semantic component hinting at the idea of stiffness or hairiness. In modern usage, it is primarily encountered in dictionaries and historical texts, as its standalone form is rare in contemporary writing. The character itself depicts a simple, angular symbol that embodies the visual essence of a bristle, connecting modern readers to the pictographic origins of written Chinese.
