U+2F46 "⽆" Kangxi Radical Not Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⽆
U+2F46 "⽆" Kangxi Radical Not is the graphic representation of the 71st radical in the Kangxi dictionary system, which signifies the concept of "not" or "nothing" and is also known as "no" or "without." This radical is derived from the ancient Chinese character 无, and it is used as a component in complex characters to express negation, absence, or the lack of something, though it is now relatively rare in modern standard Chinese writing. The character itself is a stylized form that appears in traditional texts and calligraphy, and its Unicode encoding ensures its digital preservation for linguistic, historical, and scholarly purposes.
