彐

Usage notes
As components, some use 彑 in instead and the bottom horizontal stroke extends beyond the vertical stroke. The 彐 itself appears in several variations, for example, the perfect reversed capital E or like the Japanese katakana, or the middle instead beyond the vertical.

Characters with the bottom horizontal stroke extending beyond the vertical one have different glyph origins than those written like the Japanese katakana or with the middle stroke extending beyond the vertical one. The latter is a variant of that appeared during the transition from seal script to regular script.

Derived characters

 * Appendix:Chinese radical/彐

Definitions

 * 1) pig head/snout (the ancient version is 彑. But in nearly all the Chinese characters, it's a false friend since it represents a hand).

Usage notes
Second-round simplification. Compare 云 and 电 from 雲 and 電.
