Variant forms
This radical character has different forms and stroke orders in different languages and different individual characters.
{{Linktext|靑}} (lower part is 円) is used in traditional Ming typefaces as well as in the Kangxi Dictionary, but it rarely appears in handwritten scripts compared to {{Linktext|青}}.
In modern Chinese, mainland China's xin zixing (applied to chiefly Simplified Chinese, but may also be used for Traditional Chinese) and Hong Kong's List of Graphemes of Commonly-Used Chinese Characters (Traditional Chinese) adopted {{Lang|zh-Hans|青}} (the lower part's first stroke is vertical) that resembles the written form, while Taiwan's Standard Form of National Characters (Traditional Chinese) adopted a slightly different form, {{Lang|zh-tw|青}} (the lower part is {{Lang|zh-tw|月}} with the first stroke left-falling).
In modern Japanese, jōyō kanji adopts the handwritten form {{Lang|ja|青}} and applies it to printing typefaces, while {{Lang|ja|靑}} is used for hyōgai kanji.
