U+2FCC "⿌" Kangxi Radical Frog Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2FCC "⿌" Kangxi Radical Frog is a visual representation of the 205th radical from the traditional Kangxi dictionary, which signifies the concept of a frog or toad. This character is used exclusively as a radical in Chinese character composition, often appearing in the upper or lower position of complex ideographs to convey meanings related to amphibians, water, or slipperiness. In modern Chinese and Japanese scripts, the radical itself is rarely used as an independent word but serves as a key component in characters like 鼃 (frog) or 龜 (turtle), where it hints at the creature’s attributes. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for consistent digital representation and study of historical and linguistic texts involving these ancient character components.
