Variant Forms

[edit]

There is a difference in Japanese and Chinese in printing typefaces for this third stroke of this radical. In the Kangxi Dictionary and in Japanese, the form with a short line slanting downward to the left on top of the first horizontal line is used. In both Simplified Chinese (mainland China, Singapore) and standard Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau), the form with a dot slanting downwards to the right on top of the horizontal line is used, while the Kangxi Dictionary form is still widely used in Traditional Chinese publications.

This difference may also apply to handwritten forms, albeit not always strictly followed.
