Unicode Version 17.0
⾭
U+2FAD "⾭" Kangxi Radical Blue is a representation of the 173rd radical in the traditional Kangxi system of Chinese character classification, which conveys the concept of blue or green tones and is often associated with indigo dye or the color of vegetation. This radical, known simply as "blue" in English, appears as a semantic component in various Chinese characters, typically relating to colors or shades, though it is now rarely used in modern simplified writing systems. In the Unicode standard, this character serves as a graphic reference for the radical itself, distinct from its role as a full character in historical or specialized texts.
