Notes
The ⻏ (group) variant appears on the right, and is a different Unicode character to ⻖ (hill), which appears on the left.
Although 阝looks identical on the left or right side of a character, the meaning varies with the position. Here we look at it on the right side of a kanji, where it often means 'village,' as in 郷 (hometown) and 郊 (suburbs). We also examine how 邑 turned into 阝in both 部 (part) and 邸 (mansion).
