Alternative forms

In traditional Chinese, the component on the left of U+79AE is 礻. In Korean Hanja or Japanese kyūjitai, the component on the left of U+79AE is 示 rather than 礻, which is also the historical form that appears in the Kangxi dictionary. A CJK compatibility ideograph exists at U+F9B6 to reflect the form found in the Kangxi dictionary.
