Alternative forms

The appearance of this letter varies widely between different texts or fonts. The most common form is as a vertical and horizontal line. It also varies which one of the lines is longer. Its standardized version in the official Unicode chart is with horizontal line longer, however that is mostly due to the fact that before it’s encoding, Hangul letter was used, but in the original writing, it could also exist with the vertical line longer. Additionally, the bottom was usually thicker.

There also exist forms with slightly slanted vertical line, appearing similar to 𠃋, however those are not so common.
