彡

The character 彡 (삼) is known as ‘터럭 삼’, which means: hair, decorative patterns or designs made from hair or resembling hair strands or fur.

When used as a semantic radical, it generally relates to shapes, patterns, or decorations.

It can also indicate meanings related to long hair or hair-like features, as seen in characters like 須 (mustache/ beard).

Its shape resembles the character 三 (three) tilted, and since the pronunciation is the same, it is sometimes called “tilted three strokes” (삐친석삼).

However, the 三 character belongs to the 一 (one) radical group.
