U+2EA5 "⺥" CJK Radical Paw Two Unicode Character

U+2EA5 "⺥" CJK Radical Paw Two is a lesser known variant of the Kangxi radical for "claw" or "paw" (radical 87), traditionally used in Chinese character dictionaries to categorize characters related to grasping, scratching, or animal paws. It differs from the more common form of the claw radical by having a distinct shape, often appearing as a doubled or slightly modified version of the standard radical, and is found in historical or stylistic CJK character compositions. This radical component is not as frequently encountered in modern simplified Chinese, but it persists in some traditional characters and scholarly contexts, serving as a graphic element that can be traced back to ancient oracle bone and bronze inscription scripts.
