Some radicals in Kangxi Radicals block of CN region may need to be remapped to match GB18030-2022.

Immediate attention

U+2FC1 requires immediate update to change from current CN glyph to TW glyph with broken bottom left stroke. This crashes with U+2EE4 which should have connected bottom left stroke. These two radical characters should be differentiated.

Ref: U+2FBB and U+2EE3 with different direction in Unicode code charts and GB18030-2022. (notice the broken bottom left stroke of U+2FC1 although it's minor)

Other remapping suggestions

The following glyphs can be remapped according to GB18030-2022.

  1. U+2FCB from uni9EF9-CN to uni9EF9-TW
  2. U+2F3E from uni6237-CN to uni6236-CN
  3. U+2FC7 from uni9EBB-CN to uni9EBB-TW
  4. U+2FCD from uni9F0E-CN to uni9F0E-JP

However, note that such remapping might cause other issues such as #438 .

U+2F4F do not have the corresponding glyphs to be remapped. This may or may not be added.

Additional: U+2EC1 ⻁ radical supplement should probably mirror CN of U+864E 虎 and map to uni864EuE0101-JP instead, such that uni864E-CN can be freed up. Serif is mapped to uni864EuE0101-JP.
