Variant forms
[edit]There is a design nuance in different printing typefaces for this radical. Traditionally, the second stroke 入 starts with a short horizontal line in printing typeface. In handwriting form, the right-falling stroke goes more smoothly. The traditional typeface design is used in modern Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean typefaces. In Mainland China, after the adoption of Simplified Chinese and the new character forms, the standard printing typeface design for 入 was altered to look like its handwriting form. Depending on each font's design, either form could be used in Traditional Chinese typefaces and Simplified Chinese typefaces.
The short horizontal line exists only in printing typeface, not in any handwriting form.
