I'm hoping a Japanese person (or one of the Chinese speaking people here) is aware of this kanji (unless it's Chinese only—then let's call it a hanzi).

I can't find it in my dictionaries with 半 but only with the similar-looking right half.

Thanks! To me it looks like 月+半 rather than using にくづき.

Even if you don't know it, can you type it for me? I can't find it online, I don't know the reading, and I can't get it to appear with the handwriting input.
I do not think the kanji/hanzi you described exists in Japanese, at least not currently.

What are you looking at for your description? A handwritten hanzi or an oral explanation of the components? Also, do you have the pinyin?


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
