X2ECE ⻎ is Unicode character number 11982, KanjRadical, WALK TWO .

WalkU

SIMPLIFIED WALK WALK ONE WALK TWO

Being printed, character WALK ONE (or Walk1) looks similar to other characters of WalkU.

WalkU is set of the following five Unicode characters:

X2ECC ⻌ , KanjiRadical, Walk0, SIMPLIFIED WALK

X2ECD ⻍ , KanjiRadical, Walk1, WALK ONE

X2ECE ⻎ , KanjiRadical, Walk2, WALK TWO

X8FB6 辶 , KanjiLiberal, Walk3

XFA66 辶 , KanjiConfudal, Walk4

Characters of WalkU may have similar pronunciation しんにょう, Shinnyou and similar meanings: walk, move, advance.
These characters are easy to confuse.

Confuse

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.

In particular, this applies to character ⻎: its pic depends on the default font on the operational system, but it may look similar to other Unicode characters from set WalkU.

Pic ⻎ cannot be used for the identification of the character. The ascii names can be used instead: X2ECE or WALK TWO .

Tarja

Characters, that cannot be identified visually, cause confusions, error, mistakes. Information, saved for the name with one character and recovered for another (although very similar) character, may be lost.
The radical solution of the problem would be use only ascii characters, id est, naming of all kanjis by their hexadecimal numbers, that always are recognizable and distinguishable. However, the text, prepared in such a way, is not good for the Human reading.

The idea of Tarja is to keep those Japanese characters, that no not confuse with other characters.

Tarja is system of notations for characters of Japanese language, characterized in that, that, in order to avoid confusions, all the confusive characters and words are replaced to their Hiragana or Ascii analogies.

In particular, character WALK ONE (X2ECD ⻍) can be translated from Japanese to Tarja in the following ways:

1. Shinnyou or しんにょう, to indicate advance, walk, continuation

3. Shinnyuu or しんにゅう, to indicate penetration, coming in.

4. WalkU to indicate any or both above.

5. WALK TWO or X2ECE to distinguish it from other WalkU

The inverse translation, back to Japanese, can be performed with dictionary Tarja-Japanese.

Use

Character ⻎ by itself is not popular in Japanese texts. But the pic ⻎ often appears as component of more complicated pics of other, more usual kanjis. It is believed, that appearance of this component transfers some of meanings of character ⻎ to the character with compound pic. For this reason, collection of meanings of character ⻎ and its synonyms is important for interpretation of Japanese characters and texts in Japanese.

Here are few examples with pic ⻎ as element of more complicated kanjis:

X901A 通 通 : Traffic, pass through, avenue, commute, counter for letters, notes, documents

X9023 連 連 : Take along, lead, join, connect, party, gang, clique

X9032 進 進 : continue, move on, Advance, proceed, progress, promote

X9053 道 道 : Road-way, street, district, journey, course, moral, teachings

X9078 選 選 : Elect, select, choose, prefer

The characters above are complicated; they are enlarged in order to allow the visual recognition.
(Over-vice, all of them would look similar to character X2592 ▒.)
Bue even after the endargmenr, it is difficult to say, namely which character of WalkU is used as prototype for the lower-bottom parts of the kanjis mentioned.

Meanings of WALK TWO seem to be suggested from the meaning of kanjis, white images include pic ⻎.
