Variant forms[edit]

There is a design nuance between the form of in different typefaces. In mainland China standard, the starting point of the third and fourth strokes of are joined with the first stroke, while in Taiwan's Standard Form of National Characters, they are detached. This difference may apply to both printing typefaces and handwriting forms, and usually both are acceptable.

Joined Detached

The upper component form also has variant forms in different regions. Traditionally, the second and fourth strokes point outwards in printing typefaces () but point inwards in handwriting (). In mainland China's xinzixing (new typeface), some were replaced by (a variant form of the radical 刀), e.g. -> , while the others were altered their form to imitate the handwriting form , e.g. -> ; These changes also apply to traditional Chinese characters, e.g. -> , -> . Similar change were also adopted in Japanese jōyō kanji (commonly used Chinese characters), e.g. -> , while the forms of kyūjitai and hyōgai kanji were left unchanged, e.g. (=), . In Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau where Traditional Chinese is used, is adopted as the standard form, though both forms are commonly used in publication.
