U+2FB6 "⾶" Kangxi Radical Fly Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2FB6 "⾶" Kangxi Radical Fly is a graphical representation of the Kangxi radical number 183, which is derived from the traditional Chinese character 飛 (meaning "fly" or "to fly") and is used as a component in other complex characters within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) writing systems. This radical appears in the Kangxi Dictionary, a seminal 18th-century Chinese dictionary, and its Unicode encoding allows it to be displayed and processed in digital text, primarily serving as a categorization marker for characters related to flight, movement, or elevation. Despite its stylized and abstract appearance, it maintains the essential visual structure of a bird in mid-flight, connecting modern typography to ancient pictographic roots.
