U+2FAB "⾫" Kangxi Radical Short Tailed Bird Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⾫
U+2FAB "⾫" Kangxi Radical Short Tailed Bird is a graphic representation of one of the 214 Kangxi radicals, specifically the 196th radical, which traditionally denotes a bird with a short tail or a small bird-like creature. In modern Chinese and Japanese usage, this radical appears in compound characters related to birds, such as those meaning "myna" or "quail," though it is less common than the broader "bird" radical (隹). It serves primarily as a semantic component in logographic writing systems, often conveying the idea of a short-tailed bird in the structure of complex characters.
