Alternative forms

[edit]
  • In Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau), Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, the inner component on the top of the character is drawn with two strokes both starting from the center, and positioned to the right (◲) (骨, ⾻, 骨), which is the orthodox form found in the historical Kangxi dictionary.
  • In mainland China (based on Xin Zixing (新字形) standardized form) and Vietnamese Nôm, the inner component on the top of the character is drawn with a single stroke starting from the left, and positioned to the left (◱) (骨).
  • In mainland China (Xin Zixing), Hong Kong and Macau (Traditional Chinese), Japanese kanji, Korean hanja and Vietnamese Nôm, the bottom component is written in the form of ⺝ (similar to 月), but the leftmost stroke is vertical (丨) and not curved (丿), which is the orthodox form found in the Kangxi dictionary.
  • In Taiwan (Traditional Chinese), the bottom component is written in the form of ⺼ (meat radical, similar to 月 where the leftmost stroke is curved 丿 but the two horizontal strokes enclosed within are written 冫 instead).
  • Due to Han unification, this character may or may not appear different, depending on the fonts available (the curvature or straightness of the leftmost stroke in the bottom part is not significant and may vary slightly between fonts):
    • 骨 : traditional Kangxi form (10 strokes) in Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Korea, Vietnam;
    • 骨: traditional modified form (10 strokes) in Taiwan;
    • 骨: simplified form (9 strokes) in Mainland China.
