Usage notes

• There is regional variation in the first two strokes of the character:
  • In mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, they are written as 丷 according to the modern standards.
  • In Japan and Korea, they are written as 八 due to the incorrect copying of Han Chinese script from the Tang Dynasty by scholars from Jo-seon Dynasty.
