U+31C4 "㇄" CJK Stroke Sw Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+31C4 "㇄" CJK Stroke Sw is a specific stroke symbol used in the representation of Chinese characters, particularly within the context of East Asian calligraphy and dictionary notation. This character denotes a "sweeping stroke," which is a diagonal, downward stroke that curves slightly to the left, often appearing in components like the left-falling stroke in standard Chinese script. It belongs to the CJK Strokes Unicode block, which was designed to encode individual stroke types for educational, computational, and typographic purposes, enabling precise reconstruction and analysis of character composition. As a standardized glyph, it helps linguists, students, and software developers to break down complex characters into their fundamental writing elements without relying on full character images.
