Synonyms: ⻅ and 见

The two characters
X2EC5 ⻅ and
X89C1 见
have meaning similar to Miru. So, they can be considered as synonyms of Miru.

Pictures ⻅ and 见 look similar to each other; but they do not like similar to images of Miru.

Characters X2EC5 ⻅ and X89C1 见 are not considered as elements of Japanese language. So, they may be not well presented at TORI.

Graphics

Pictures of characters of Miru look like three rectangles, glued as a vertical row, with two curvilinear "foots" at the bottom.

Characters of Kai, id est, X2F99 ⾙ and X8C9D 貝
may look similar to pictures of Miru, but they have other meaning, denoting a shell.

The main graphical difference between miru and kai is the following:
In the case of kai, the "foots" are straight, as slash and backslash.
In the case of miru these "foots" are strongly bended, especially that at the right hand side.

Confusion

Characters X2F92 ⾒, X898B 見, XFA0A 見 are confusive.

Even a native Japanese speaker, looking at kanjis 見, 見, 見, is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2F92?
Which of them is X898B?
Which of them is XFA0A?

Some software automatically (silently, without any warning) replace character 見 to 見. This causes confusions. In particular, at TORI (that accesses the database at mizugadro), it is not possible to create article entitled 見 (short name for XFA0A) in a regular way. Attempts to access it redirect to article 見 (short name for X898B).

At the confusions, the titles of articles and filenames should be specified with their hexadecimal representations X2F92, X898B, XFA0A rather than with the short names ⾒, 見, 見.

In order to avoid the confusion, the special term Miru is defined.
It allows to refer to all the three characters at once, whitout to specify, which of them should be taken into account. In this sense, Miru appears as short substitute of cumbersome construction

X2F92 ⾒ or X898B 見 or XFA0A 見
