蒁

蒁	U+8481, 蒁 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-8481

Translingual

Alternative forms

In traditional Chinese (based on the character form used in Taiwan), the 述 component under the grass radical contains 朮.
In mainland China (based on the Xin Zixing 新字形 standardized character form), the 述 component under the grass radical contains 术 instead.
In Japanese kanji, this character is encoded with a slightly different form. The component 术 is written under the grass radical, giving the form of 𦬸 which is enclosed by 辶 as its bottom left component.
A separate character, 𦳯 (U+26CEF) exists for a variant form found in the historical Chinese dictionary Jiyun 《集韻 (Jíyùn)》 which is similar to its Japanese form.
