⽅
U+2F45 "⽅" Kangxi Radical Square is a standard representation of the 70th radical in the Kangxi system, which is derived from the Chinese character for "square" or "direction." This radical, known as "fāng" in Mandarin, appears in a variety of traditional and simplified Chinese characters, often conveying notions of shape, orientation, or region, such as in words for "place" or "method." In Unicode, it serves as a distinct codepoint for the radical form, separate from the full character, to support historical and etymological references in texts and digital typography.
