⼔

⼔ is easy to confuse with other characters of Jspoon.
Jspoon
Jspoon is set of the three Unicode characters:
X2F14 ⼔
[1], KanjiRadical
X30D2 ヒ
[2], KatakanaHi
X5315 匕 [3], KanjiLiberal
They have similar graphical representation (slighly deformed right angle with corner at down-left side and almost horizontal bar, slightly inclined as a slash),
similar pronunciations ("hi" or "saji" of both: "sahinohi") and similar meaning, denoting a spoon.
[4][5]
Characters of Jspoon are highly concussive.
Even a native Japanese speaker, looking at characters
⼔ヒ匕
is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2F14?
Which of them is X30D2?
Which of them is X5315?
In such a case, the correct specification of a character is
Term [Jspoon]] is defined as short notation for this (long and complicated) construction.
Softwares by itself do not confuse these characters. Their Utf8 encoding can be revealed with PHP program du.t activated with command
php du.t ⼔ヒ匕
Semantics
Dictionaries do not mention any semantic difference between characters of Jspoon. [6][7]. For this reason, descriptions of character [[匕] (except the encoding) is applied also to character ⼔.
Confusion
Up to year 2021, the standard software the support of Japanese characters is still underdeveloped.
No united default font is established, that at different computers would provide the same picture for each character, but clearly different pictures for different characters.
While this fault is not yet fixed, there is sense to give Romanji name to each group of confusing characters.
In particular, this applies to Unicode character X2F14 ⼔. When there is no need to distinguish it from other Jspoon characters, term Jspoon can be used.
when it is necessary to refer namely to X2F14 ⼔, it can be denoted with its hexadecimal number X2F14, or long expression "KanjiRadical ⼔".
