U+2F49 "⽉" Kangxi Radical Moon Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2F49 "⽉" Kangxi Radical Moon is a graphical representation of the Moon radical, originally derived from the Chinese character for moon or month, and it is used as one of the 214 Kangxi radicals in traditional Chinese character dictionaries. This radical often appears in compound characters related to the moon, time, or brightness, such as in characters like 明 (bright) or 期 (period). In the context of Unicode, it belongs to the Kangxi Radicals block, which provides distinct codepoints for these historical radicals to support accurate text rendering and scholarly work in East Asian scripts. Its visual form resembles a simplified, stylized crescent shape, distinguishing it from the standard CJK unified ideograph for moon which may look slightly different.
