Variant forms

This radical character has different forms in different languages when used as a left component. Traditionally, the writing form of the radical character as a left component is hardly distinguishable with
Radical 74 (月 "moon"). In the ''Kangxi Dictionary'', 月 which means the "moon" has its two horizontal strokes' right ends detached from the frame, while those in 月 which means "meat" are connected to the frame. In modern Japanese and Simplified Chinese, this difference no longer exists.
In modern Traditional Chinese used in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the two horizontal strokes in 月 meaning "meat" are altered to a dot and an upward horizontal stroke, a change that also applies to printing typefaces despite historically it was only used as a handwriting variant.
