( X5357) is Unicode character number 21335.
In Japanese, many be pronounced as みなみ ("Minami) and refers to South.
The four main geographic directions (,西,,) are shown in Fig.1.
Drawing of is shown in Fig.2.

Encoding

Some Kanjis denoting the geographic directions () are confusing.
In order to distinguish then, some programming is necessary.

The Utf8 encoding of 西 and related kanjis can be be reveled by program ud.t with command

php ud.t F963 5317 5357 897F 6771

For the execution, files ud.t and uni.t should be loaded.
Then, the command above returns the following output:


K= 6

Graphics

The image of looks as combination of the following Unicode characters:

+ (X002B) or (X5341: 10), ± (X00B1), (X2F1F), (X2F20), (X571F) or (X58EB), (plus , plus-minus, soldier, ground)

(X5182) [2] or Greek letter \( \Pi \) ,

(X2f9f) or (X7F8A) (Hitsuji, sheep)

Such a combination may mean, that at South, there are both, pluses and minuses: many soldiers happen to be buried In ground, fighting each other for the land there; but there are many delicious sheep at South.

Examples

Jisho [1] suggests the fiollowing examples:

【ナン】 south wind tile, winning hand with a pung (or kong) of south wind tiles
南海 【ナンカイ】 southern sea
東南 【トウナン】 south-east
西南 【セイナン】 south-west
南 【ナン】 south wind tile, winning hand with a pung (or kong) of south wind tiles
南海 【ナンカイ】 southern sea
Kun reading compounds
南 【みなみ】 south
南アフリカ 【みなみアフリカ】 South Africa
東南 【とうなん】 south-east
西南 【せいなん】 south-west

At Nihongomaster [3], character , みなみ appears as kanji number 44177 (not 21335, its standard unicode decimal number); that may cause confusions.
