Han character
彐 (Kangxi radical 58, 彐+0, 3 strokes, cangjie input 弓一一 (NMM) or 尸一 (SM) or 難尸一 (XSM), composition コ一(GV) or ユ一(HTJK))
- Kangxi radical #58, ⼹.
Usage notes
As components, some use 彑 in traditional form instead and the bottom horizontal stroke extends beyond the vertical stroke. The 彐 itself appears in several variations, for example, the perfect reversed capital E or like the Japanese katakana ヨ, or the middle instead beyond the vertical.
Characters with the bottom horizontal stroke extending beyond the vertical one have different glyph origins than those written like the Japanese katakana ヨ or with the middle stroke extending beyond the vertical one. The latter is a variant of 又 that appeared during the transition from seal script to regular script.

Chinese
Glyph origin
A variant of 彑 ("pig snout"). But in many characters, such as 事, 尹, 雪, and 爭 it depicts a hand holding something. The hand is stylized since it only has three fingers instead of five (see 又, with three fingers, and 止, a footprint with three toes). Unrelated to 录, in which it represents a cloth filter for water, and 庚 (as well as to its derivative 康. See also 丑, which represents an animal paw.
The only characters in which a similar shape represents a wild boar (not a domestic pig) are the ancient variants of 敢.
