X5DE5 is Unicode character number 24037, KanjiLiberal, JapanE

can be pronoiunced as "kou" and "ke" and refer to some craft work, construction, reparation.

is easy to confuse with other Unucode characters from set JapanE.

JapanE

is highly confusive characeter.

Up to year 2021, yet, no standard default font seem to be elaborated such that would provide different picture for different pictures for different Unicode characters.

In particular, the confusion can be caused by the folowing characters:

X2F2F [1], KanjiRadical

X30A8 [2], KatakanaE

X5DE5 [3], KanjiLiberal, sound: コウ、ク; menaing: fraft. [4]

In various computers, at the defualt font setting, these characters look similar.

Even a native Japanese speaker, watching , , , is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2F2F?
Which of them is X30A8?
Which of them is X5DE5?

Before the identification, the correct specification of such a character is

"X2F2F or X30A8 or X5DE5 "

Term JapanE is defined as substitute of this (long and complicated) construction.

Characters of JapanE can be identified with PHP program du.t; here is example of the activation:

php du.t ⼯エ工

X5DE5 seems to be more popular, usual, than other JapanE characters.

The specific view of character depends on the software. The three examples are shown in figure at tight.

Up to year 2021, no standard default font seems to be established, that would show character in the same way at various computers.

In general, character looks as ascii character I with exaggerated serifs at the top and at the bottom, or as ascii H rotated for 90 degrees.

However, dependently on the software, this "I" may happebed to be deformed, as if the default font designer had been a little bit drunk while drawing it.
