Han characterEdit
心 (radical 61 心+0, 4 strokes, cangjie input 心 (P), four-corner 33000)
- Kangxi radical #61, ⼼ (“heart”).
Usage notesEdit
When written as a bottom radical, it is similar to 灬 but is distinguished by the second stroke from the left being longer, passing under the third stroke – this is an important composition detail.
