㆘

㆘

1. the superscripted form of 下, the bottom mark in 漢文訓読(かんぶんくんどく) (kanbun kundoku)

   Coordinate terms: ㆖, ㆗

Used in annotating Literary Chinese so that it can be read using Japanese grammatical structure. ㆖, ㆗, and ㆘ form a set - when you encounter one in the set, shift that character after the character annotated with ㆖, then read the characters marked by ㆗ and ㆘ in order.

When only two annotations are used in the set, ㆖ and ㆘ are used, excluding ㆗.
