“回”的四种写法。

原文链接

《孔乙己》这篇文章，大概中国初中生都上过了。其中有个细节就是，“茴”这个字的“回”的部分有四样写法。

前三个字典上有。一是“回”，正字。二是“囘”，外“冂”内“巳”，古字。三是“囬”，“面”的下部，俗字。

有人说了：“不是说没有第四种写法吗？老师说了，这恰恰体现了他的迂腐。”他是迂腐没错，但的确有第四种写法，“𡇌”（⿴囗目）[1]，即外“囗”内“目”，极罕见。

蔷薇的“蔷”，14画，繁体的“薔”，16画，但《红楼梦》第三十回的龄官画蔷的故事，却说是18画。这就是因为回的俗字“囬”的缘故。把回换成囬，再把草字头“艹”断开，写成旧字形[2]“十十”，就是18画了。

[1]：括号内虚线的字符叫做表意文字描述符，用这种描述符描述的表意文字的序列，称作“表意文字描述序列”（IDS）。

[2]：旧字形不是繁体字，是古代铅字印刷时，铅字的字形不统一导致的。被我们采用的叫做新字形，其他的就是旧字形，除了特地展示旧字形以外，其他地方印刷旧字形都属于印刷错误。
