Definitions
桔
- alternative form of 橘 (jú)
Usage notes
桔 was included as the simplified form of 橘 (jú) in the second round of simplification in 1977. The current standard in Mainland China, the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters (通用规范汉字表), does not mention that 桔 is a simplification of 橘 (jú). A Dictionary of Current Chinese (现代汉语词典) and the Xinhua Dictionary (新华字典) list 桔 as a separate entry from 橘 (jú) (unlike other variants, which are usually put beside the main character in parentheses) and define 桔 as a common variant for 橘 (jú), while Xiandai Hanyu Guifan Cidian (《现代汉语规范词典》) proscribes the use of 桔 as the simplified form of 橘 (jú).
In Cantonese, 桔 is generally used for gat1, while 橘 is used for gwat1.
