U+2FB3 "⾳" Kangxi Radical Sound Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2FB3 "⾳" Kangxi Radical Sound is a graphical representation of the Chinese Kangxi radical number 180, which signifies "sound" or "tone" and is derived from the character 音 (yīn). This radical is primarily used as a component in traditional Chinese characters, often appearing in the left or top position of compound characters to indicate meanings related to sound, speech, or music. While it retains the same form as the modern Chinese character for sound, its function as a radical categorizes it within the Kangxi dictionary system, where it helps organize characters by semantic themes. In text, this specific Unicode codepoint represents the radical in its standalone, stylized form for use in historical or linguistic contexts, distinct from the full CJK character it visually resembles.
