Variant forms
[edit]This radical character takes different forms in different languages. In the Kangxi Dictionary, the first stroke is a vertical dot, and the last stroke of the radical character starts with a short horizontal line when appearing independently (穴), and becomes a vertical-curve-horizontal stroke ㇄ when used as an upper component, with an exception of 空 in which the radical's last stroke starts with a short horizontal line (穴+工). In Japanese and Korean hanja, when used as an upper component, the last stroke of the radical character is a vertical-curve-hook stroke ㇟. In Traditional Chinese used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, its last stroke is a vertical-curve-horizontal stroke ㇄. In Mainland China's xin zixing, it is a rightward dot.
