Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+31DC "" CJK Stroke Pz is a unique glyph within the CJK Strokes block, representing a specific, sometimes variant stroke form used in East Asian calligraphy and character composition, particularly in Japanese and Chinese writing systems. This particular stroke, known as "Pz," is classified as a zigzag or "bent" stroke, often appearing as a horizontal line that sharply turns downward, resembling a flattened "Z" shape. It functions as a building block for more complex characters, though it is not a standard stroke in traditional classifications like the Eight Principles of Yong. Instead, it is included in the Unicode standard to support exact representation of historical or stylized printed forms, especially in dictionaries and educational materials where precise stroke identification is required.
