⻢
Horses grazing by Britannica [1]
X2EE2 ⻢ is Unicode character number 12002, Uma.
As other Uma characters, ⻢ can be pronounced as "Uma" and denote a horse(s).
Software-dependent
At some computers (Mac), ⻢ appears as a stilised horse, similar to the unicode characters ⾺ or 马.
At some software (Debian), the unicode character number 12002 (X2EE2) is not supplied with a specific picture;
⻢ appears as
2E
E2
In such a way X2EE2 ⻢ is confusive character.
Characters with numbers similar to ⻢ are qualified as Unicode CJK Radicals Supplement [2].
Uma
If the character ⻢ is supported, it is considered as Kanji Uma.
Several characters are interpreted as Uma. These characters are
- 12002, id est, X2EE2, ⻢ [3] ; not supported as some computers
- 12218 id est, X2FBA, ⾺ [4], KanjiRadical
- 39340 id est, X99AC, 馬 [5], KanjiLiberal
- 39532 id est, X9A6C 马 [6], KanjiLiberal
Each of these characters may be read as "uma" and denote a horse.
The Utf8 encoding or these characters can be calculated with PHP program ud.t, activated by command
php ud.t 2EE2 2FBA 99AC 9A6C
The output is
2EE2 12002 ⻢ ⻢
Unicode character number 12002 id est, X2EE2

Confusion
The printed version of characters X2EE2 ⻢ and X9A6C 马 are similar.
Even a native Japanese speler, looking from Macintosh at characters
⻢, 马
is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2EE2?
Which of them is X9A6C?
The correct interpretation of a printed version of character 马 would be cumbersome construction
Notation Uma is defined to substitute this expression with the single word.
