Glyph origin

Simplified from 殘 (戔 → 㦮) for Japanese shinjitai and simplified from 殘 (戔 → 戋) for simplified Chinese.

Alternative forms

Note that Japanese shinjitai uses 㦮 (extra line above 戋) while simplified Chinese uses 戋. Due to Han unification, both simplified Chinese and Japanese shinjitai forms are encoded under the same code point. Different forms can be observed when using the appropriate font.
