斤
斤 is Unicode character number 26020 id est, X65A4, KanjiLiberal, CJK
Picture: 斤 ; uses 3 bytes. These bytes are:
xE6 x96 xA4 in the hexadecimal representation and
230 150 164 in the decimal representation.
[3]
Character X65A4 斤 [3] is easy to confuse with
character X2F44 ⽄ [4]; they have similar glyphs.
Due to this confusion, none of these two characters is allowed in technical language Tarja.
In Japanese, 斤 by itself may refer to rectangular bread and/or to unit of mass (or order of 0.5 kg) [5][6][7][8] and can be pronounced as キン, きん, "kin"
Kanji 斤 may have also other meanings and other pronunciations dependently on the context.
Graphics
Glyph 斤 looks as overlap of big flyph of capital Greek letter \(\Gamma\) and small glyph of ascii character T.
Glyph 斤 appears as part of more complicated glyph 質 that may mean "quality" and or "question".
Confuse
Character X65A4 斤 [3] is easy to confuse with
character X2F44 ⽄ [4]
as they have very similar glyphs.
Characters with glyph 斤 are not allowed in technical language Tarja as this glyph has not yet assigned a unique Unicode character.
Even a native Japanese speaker, looking at characters 斤 [3] and ⽄ [4]
is unlikely to guess:
Which of them is character X2F44?
Which of them is character X65A4?
For this confusion, characters 斤 and ⽄ are not allowed in techical language Tarja. At the translation from Japanese to Tarja, 斤 can be represented with its Hiragana transliteration according to the context or with an ascii transliteration or replaced to a word with similar meaning borrowed from another language (preferably from English).
Example
斤 can be used as a counter for pieces of bread [9]:
Kono Pan Wa Ichi Kin Atari Ni Hyaku En Desu .
This loaf of bread costs 200 yen per loaf.
