U+2F6B "⽫" Kangxi Radical Dish Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2F6B "⽫" Kangxi Radical Dish is a graphical representation of the 203rd radical in the Kangxi system, a traditional Chinese dictionary classification of characters. This radical, derived from the ancient pictograph for a dish or shallow vessel, is used to categorize Chinese characters associated with containers, vessels, or related concepts like food and offerings. In modern usage, it appears as a component in characters such as 益 (yì, meaning benefit) and 盛 (shèng, meaning flourishing or contained), where it contributes semantic meaning rather than serving as a standalone word. Its encoding in Unicode supports digital preservation of historical Chinese text and scholarly work.
