U+2FAE "⾮" Kangxi Radical Wrong Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⾮
U+2FAE "⾮" Kangxi Radical Wrong is a graphical representation of the 175th radical in the Kangxi dictionary system, which is traditionally used to categorize Chinese characters. This specific radical, known as "wrong" or "non" in English, visually depicts a sense of opposition or negation through its mirrored and crossed components. It is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the Kangxi Radicals block, serving primarily as a typographic symbol for indexing and cross-referencing Chinese characters in historical and scholarly contexts, rather than as a standalone character with modern linguistic use.
