Confuse

Visually, the pics of the two characters of Radical 162 are indistinguishable. At the default fonts of various operational systems, a Human watching pics of these characters, cannot identify them.

Even a native Japanese speaker, watching character ⾡ or 辵, is unlikely to answer:
Is it X2FA1 or X8FB5?

However, the character can be identified, for example, with the PHP program du1.t or its equivalent, but such identification slows down the reading of texts, and it is impossible, dealing with a printed message.

Such a case is not specific for characters of Radical 162. In century 21, the computer support of characters of Japanese is underdeveloped.
Up to year 2021, there is no united standard for the default font, that would allow each character to look the same at various computers, but different from other characters.
Apparently, the opposite cases take place: the character looks different with the default font of different operational systems, but similar to other characters at the same computer. This causes confuses.

While pics of Radical 162 do not allow their identification, we should avoid characters that cause confusions. The special system of notations, that patches the fault of the software, is denoted with term Tarja.

Tarja

Tarja appears as technical language characterized in that, that the written Japanese used as base, but, in order to avoid the confuses, all the ambiguous characters are replaced, substituted to their Romanji or Hiragana analogies.

Translation from Japanese to Tarja is easier, that to any other language.
Characters of Radical 162 can be translated in the following ways:

Chyakubu or ちゃくぶ to indicate any of meanings of Radical 162

Shinnyou or しんにょう, to refer to street, movement, or advance.

Shinnyuu or しんじゅう, naka, なか, kimasu, きます, to refers to entry, penetration, coming in.

WalkU, if any of the above

SIMPLIFIED WALK to indicate the easy movement

WALK ONE or WALK TWO to indicate number of advancing persons

X2FA1 or X8FB5 to allow the verbatim translation back into Japanese.

Tarja has sense while there is no united standard for the default fonts, that should allow each character to look the same at various operation systems, but different from other characters.
