Radical 61 心

心 (radical 61 心+0, 4 strokes, cangjie input 心 (P), four-corner 33000)

Usage notes[edit]

When written as a bottom radical, similar to 灬, but distinguished by the second stroke from the left being longer, and passing under the third stroke from the left – this is an important composition detail.
