Translingual

Stroke order

shinjitai	将
simplified	将
traditional	將

Etymology

Simplified from 將 (爿 → 丬). In Simplified Chinese, the top right is simplified to 夕 (removing the dot), while in Japanese shinjitai it is simplified to variant of 爫, as in top of 采. However, these are represented by the same Unicode code point – see Han unification.
