Unicode Version 17.0

U+2F58 "⽘" Kangxi Radical Double X is the graphic representation of Kangxi radical number 89, which is used in Chinese character dictionaries and indexing to denote the concept of a double or repeated X shape, often associated with patterns such as crisscrossing or interlacing lines. This radical is distinct from other "double" radicals and is not a modern Chinese character itself but rather a historical component found in traditional compound characters, where it typically contributes meanings related to complexity or repetition. It appears in the Unicode Standard as part of the Kangxi Radicals block, which encodes the 214 radicals from the authoritative Kangxi Dictionary, allowing for precise textual reference in scholarly and digital contexts.
