Unicode Version 17.0
⽝
U+2F5D "⽝" Kangxi Radical Dog is a graphical representation of one of the 214 radicals used in the traditional Kangxi system for classifying Chinese characters. This specific radical, meaning "dog" or "canine," is often found as a component in characters related to animals, hunting, or behavioral traits, and it appears as a stylized depiction of a dog or a simplified form of the character 犬. In modern typed Chinese text, this radical is primarily used in dictionary entries and historical documents rather than in everyday writing, where the standard character 犬 or the radical form 犭 (as in 狗 for "dog") is more common.
