| Shinjitai | 漢 |
| Simplified | 汉 |
Alternative forms[edit]
- In Traditional Chinese, Japanese kyūjitai, Korean hanja and Vietnamese Hán Nôm, the component 𦰩 for this character is written with 廿 on top. Note that the bottom portion is written 口 overlapped by 夫 and not 中 on top of 天.
- In Japanese shinjitai, the component 𦰩 is written with 艹 on top and has one stroke less. Due to Han unification, both traditional Chinese and Japanese shinjitai forms are encoded under the same code point. The appearance of this character will differ depending on the font used.
- In Simplified Chinese, the component 𦰩 is simplified to 又 instead, giving the character 汉 (
U+6C49). - Two compatibility ideographs exist for this character.
U+FA47corresponds to the kyūjitai form of this character whileU+FA9Acorresponds to the alternative form used in North Korea which is similar to Japanese shinjitai.
