骨

• In traditional Chinese (Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau), Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, the inner component on the top of the character is positioned to the right (◲) (⾻), which is the orthodox form found in the historical Kangxi dictionary.
• In mainland China (based on Xin Zixing standardized form 新字形) and Vietnamese Nôm, the inner component on the top of the character is positioned to the left (◱) (⻣).
• In mainland China, Japanese kanji, Korean hanja and Vietnamese Nôm, the bottom component is written in the form of ⺝ (similar to 月 but the leftmost stroke is vertical 丨 and not curved 丿), which is the orthodox form found in the Kangxi dictionary.
• In traditional Chinese used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau (based on Big5 standard), the bottom component is written in the form of ⺼ (meat radical, similar to 月 where the leftmost stroke is curved 丿 but the two horizontal strokes enclosed within are written are written 冫 instead).
• Due to Han unification, this character will appear to be different depending on the fonts available:
  • Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau: 骨; Mainland China: 骨; Japan and Korea: 骨.
