Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2FD5 "⿕" Kangxi Radical Flute is a rare and somewhat enigmatic component of the Kangxi radical system, used in traditional Chinese character classification. It represents the radical for "flute" (often associated with the character 龠), which originally depicted a bamboo instrument with three holes and conveys meanings related to music, wind instruments, or harmony. This radical is one of the least common in the Kangxi set, appearing in only a handful of complex characters, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that ancient texts and scholarly works referencing this radical can be accurately encoded and displayed digitally.
