U+31CF "㇏" CJK Stroke N Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㇏
U+31CF "㇏" CJK Stroke N is a specific encoding for a stroke used in Standard Written Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, representing the final, angled "N" stroke shape often found in characters like 八 or 入, where it normally slants downward and rightward. As part of the CJK Strokes block, it was included in Unicode version 5.1 released in 2008 to aid in computer processing of stroke-based input methods and educational materials. This character itself is not a radical or a standalone Chinese character but rather a functional component used in dictionaries and language learning tools to describe the precise stroke order and typography of East Asian scripts.
