U+31D7 "㇗" CJK Stroke Sz Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+31D7 "㇗" CJK Stroke Sz is a specialized ideographic stroke component used in the written representation of Chinese characters, specifically as a downward leftward diagonal stroke that often appears in the Kangxi radical system and other CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) calligraphy or dictionary contexts. This character is part of the CJK Strokes block in Unicode, which provides distinct codepoints for individual brushstrokes to facilitate the precise digital encoding and analysis of stroke order and composition in East Asian scripts. The Sz stroke, sometimes referred to as a "barb" or "slash" stroke, is not a standalone character in typical text but rather a typographic or educational tool for describing the structure of complex logographs, such as those found in the character 戈 (gē, meaning "spear") where it appears as part of the overall shape. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports linguistic research, font development, and the accurate description of character forms wi
