酋

Translingual edit

There is regional variation in the first two strokes of the character:
- In mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, they are written as 丷 according to the modern standards.
- In Japan and Korea, they are written as 八 due to the incorrect copying of Han Chinese script from the Tang Dynasty by scholars from Jo-seon Dynasty.
