This radical character has a different form in Taiwan Traditional Chinese to forms in the other writing systems.

Traditionally, the two diagonal strokes under the horizontal start from the central junction, and the last stroke is a right-falling press when the character appears independently, or a dot when used as a component. In Taiwan'sStandard Form of National Characters, however, all four diagonal strokes are detached from other strokes, and the last stroke is replaced for a dot, whether used independently or as a component.

The radical is also used as an independentChinese character. It is one of thekyōiku kanji or kanji taught in elementary schools inJapan.^[1] It is a second grade kanji.^[1]
