U+31DF "㇟" CJK Stroke Swg Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+31DF "㇟" CJK Stroke Swg is a specific typographic symbol representing the "Swg" stroke, a variant of the sweeping hook or "curved stroke" found in East Asian calligraphy and character composition, particularly in the standardized stroke orders for Chinese characters used in Japan and Korea. This character belongs to the CJK Strokes block, which encodes individual stroke shapes that are fundamental to the writing system but are not full characters themselves; instead, they serve as components for representing the precise graphical segments of kanji or hanzi. The "Swg" stroke is distinguished by a curved, hook like motion at the end, often appearing in characters like "乙" or "⺄", and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that scholars, linguists, and font developers can accurately reference and display this essential calligraphic element without ambiguity.
