Confusion

In various operational systems, the support of Japanese characters is poorly implemented. In particular, with the default font, the image of ⺭ looks similar to images of other characters.

Characters X2EAD ⺭, X30CD ネ, X793B 礻 are easy to confuse. Even a native Japanese speaker, looking at ⺭, ネ, 礻 is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2EAD?
Which of them is X30CD?
Which of them is X793B?

For such a case, the correct specification of a character is

"X2EAD ⺭ or X30CD ネ or X793B 礻"

Term JapanNe is suggested for such a case, as a substitute of the (long and complicated) construction above. Such a term has sense until some default font be established, that would allow, in particular, character X2EAD ⺭ to appear the same at various computers, but look different from other characters; in particular, different from ネ and 礻.

Semantics

The KanjiAlive suggests the following description of ⺭:

altar, festival, religious service
しめすへん
a variant of ⽰（しめす） Important

Here is the description of ⽰ sited:

altar, festival, religious service しめす

In such a way, character X2F70 ⽰ is declared to be synonym of ⺭.
