⼋
X2F0B ⼋ is Unicode character number 12043.
⼋ may mean 8 (eight) [3][4]; in Japanese, it can be pronounced as "Hachi".
⼋ is used as part of names.
X2F0B ⼋ is easy to confuse with character X516B 八, that has similar drawing, pronunciation and meaning.
Confusion
Native Japanese speakers do not care
about encoding of the characters they use;
this may cause confusions. In particular, character
X2F0B ⼋ [5], KamnjiRadical is reported to confuse with characters
X30CF ハ
[6], KatakanaHa and
X516B 八 [7], KanjiLiberal; it has similar meaning (8) and similar pronunciation [8]
Hachiojishi
⼋ often appear at the license plates of vehicles in the word
⼋王⼦ . This word refers to the place near Tokyo.
However, it is difficult to guess, which spelling is used to write these candies;
are the first and the last letters KanjiRadical or KanjiLiberal.
The same revers to the road boards and the maps.
Looking at a map of Hachioji, it is difficult to chose, which spelling for the first character of the name is better:
X2F0B ⼋ or X516B 八.
The full name of the place, 八王子市 or はちおうじし
can be written in different ways.
The first kanji can be written in two ways:
X2F0B ⼋ [5], KanjiRadical or
X516B 八 [7], KanjiLiberal
The second kanji X738B 王 is reported to be confused (perhaps, in some computers) with character X2F929 王 [9], but the number is above the standard set X2F00-XFFFF; it is difficult to confuse. So, X738B 王 can be treated as unabiguous character, at least from the point of view of Japanese language.
The third Kanji can be written in two ways:
X2F26 ⼦ [10], KanjiRadical
and
X5B50 子 [11], KanjiLiberal.
The fourth Kanji X5E02 市 seems to be not confusive [12]
In such a way, word Hachioji-shi can be written in Japanese in 5 ways:
1. X2F0B X738B X2F26 X5E02 that does ⼋王⼦市
2. X2F0B X738B X5B50 X5E02 that does ⼋王子市
3. X516B X738B X2F26 X5E02 that does 八王⼦市
4. X516B X738B X5B50 X5E02 that does 八王子市
5. X306F X3061 X304A X3046 X3058 X3057 that does
は ち お う じ し,
id est, はちおうじし
The last two (way 4 and way 5) seem to be most usual [13].
Formally, combinations of Kanji and Hiragana are allowed; to, the number of correct writings of word Hachiojishi increases to 24 options. It is still less than in case of word Nichiyoubi that counts 60 options.
