Variant forms

This radical character has a different form in Taiwan Traditional Chinese to in 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's Standard Form of National Characters, however, all four diagonal strokes are detached from other strokes, and the last stroke is a dot, whether used independently or as a component.
