The radical 22 meaning " box , square box " is one of the 23 traditional radicals of Chinese characters that are written with two strokes.
The sign looks similar to the Hangul sign ㄷ "tikeut" .
With 14 combinations of characters in Mathews' Chinese-English Dictionary , it is very rare in the lexicon.
There is a radical that looks almost the same, the upper horizontal line of which protrudes slightly to the left: 匸 ( radical 23 ). In the meantime, however, modern Chinese dictionaries also classify these characters under 匚, for example
- 匹 (measure word for horses and balls of cloth),
- 区 / 區 (= region) and
- 医 / 醫 (= doctor).
Radical 22 includes characters such as:
character | Explanation |
---|---|
匡 | correct |
匣 | small box |
匠 | Craftsman |
All of these symbols describe containers. The craftsman is one of them because he keeps his tools in a box. The symbol shows this box with an ax斤 ( radical 69 ).
