Up to year 2021, the computer support of Japanese characters is underdeveloped. No standard default font is established, that would allow each character of Japanese language look the same at various comouters, but different from other characters. In particular, this refers to character ⺃.

Characters

X2E83 ⺃ , KanjiRadical

X3057 し , HiraganaShi

X4E5A 乚 , KanjiLiberal

look similar. Even a native Japanese speaker, looking at characters ⺃, し, 乚, is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is X2E83?
Which of them is X3057?
Which of them is X4E5A?

While this fault is not fixed, it may have sense to use Romanji characters (ascii) to denote these characters as RadicalOtsuL, HiraganaShi, LiberalOtsuL, or use the Hexadecimal numbers for the identification.
