Notes
In Kanshudo mnemonics we use this character to represent the component we call 'splash', that looks like ⺢ with no 亅 (hook) down the middle, or the combination of > and <, or of 丷 (eight) and ハ, which does not have a Unicode character of its own. The component appears in three Joyo, in each case descended from a different source (in 渋 (astringent) from 澁 (astringent), in 摂 (absorb) from 攝 (absorb), in 塁 (base (in baseball)) from 壘 (base (baseball))).
