Usage notes

When used as a radical component on the left, Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja use a compressed form of 糸 (with 小 on the bottom, but the centre 亅 stroke in 小 is written as 丨 without the bottom hook), which is also the historical form found in the Kangxi dictionary. In traditional Chinese and Vietnamese Nom, the standard written form of the radical is 糹 (with three dots on the bottom), while in simplified Chinese the radical is written 纟 (with a 一 line below 幺 that slants upwards).
