Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2EC4 "⻄" CJK Radical West Two is a typographic variant or secondary form of the radical for "west" used in Chinese character indexing and some typefaces. This radical, which appears in the Kangxi Dictionary as one of the key components of Chinese characters, is associated with meanings related to the direction west, sunset, or things associated with that side. The "Two" designation indicates that this particular glyph is an alternate, often simplified or stylized, representation distinct from the primary form "⻄" (U+2EC3), and it can be found in historical or printed materials where a different brush stroke shape is required for clarity or aesthetic reasons.
