Notes
Upper component does exist as a kanji 𫝀 (-), but not visible on most systems.
Lower component is similar to both ヰ and 㐄 but not exactly like either.
This character is actually derived from 舛 (oppose) (opposite) - which in turn is the origin of katakana ヰ - drawn above and below 囗 (box; enclosure).
Find out about the counterintuitive name of the radical in 韓 (Korea), as well as complex matters involving its shapes in various fonts and its stroke count.
