X5165 入 is Unicode character number 20837, KanjiLiberal.

入 can be pronounced as "iri" and mean "enter" or "insert".

X5165 入 is easy to confuse with other Unicode characters; in particular, with X2F0A ⼊ that has similar shape, similar pronounciation and similar meaning.

Encoding: X2F0A and X5165

The tho Kanji ⼊ and 入 look similar. in order to distinguish then, some programming is necessary. Their Utf8 encoding can be calculated by PHP program du.t with command

php du.t ⼊入

Similarity of characters X2F0A ⼊ and X5165 入 cause confusions.
Even a native Japanese speaker, looking at kanjis ⼊, 入, is unlikely to answer:
Which of them is KanjiRadical X2F0A?
Which of them is KanjiLiberal X5165?

In addition, both these characters, at lest with some of their realizations, look similar to the Katakana letter X30B9 ス, to the Greek letter X03BB λ (\( \lambda \)) and its various modifications .

Graphics: 入 入

The graphical representation of character X5165 入 depends on the software and/or on the phantasies of the designers. An example of the drawing by jisho is shown in figure at right. However, it may strongly deviate from representation of the same character at some computers.

At your browser, the enlarged version of X5165 looks like this (normal and wiki link to itself, id est, bold):

                        入 入
These letter may look slightly different from the view, as they appears in the title of the section (this view depends on the operational system and the software).

Also, character X5165 入 may look similar to superposition:

X2F08 ⼈ or X4EBA 人
and small horizontal bar at the top-left.

Sometimes (at Macintosh), thickness of this bar is of order of one pixel; then the bar is barely seen.

Drawing of by X5165 入 by Jisho may look similar to Greek lambda rather than to a printed X5165 入.

There may be confusions in identification of written character 入.

Figure at right shows, how different softwares represent the five characters:

X03BB λ (lambda)
X2C96 Ⲗ (Laula)
X2F0A ⼊ KanjiRadical
X5165 入 KanjiLiberal

View of these charaters depends on the software. Looking on one of these five characters, at the regular resolution, sufficient for reading ascii characters and math formulas without zooming-in, it may be difficult to identify it as lambda, Laula, KanjiRadical or KanjiLiberal.
