Cultural Note

โ€ข ่กŒใ (ใ„ใ) and ่กŒใ† (ใŠใ“ใชใ†) are both kun-yomi, but they have very different meanings.
โ€ข ่กŒ (ใŽใ‚‡ใ†) is also used for โ€œlinesโ€ in text (e.g., ไธ€่กŒ๏ผone line).
โ€ข Youโ€™ll see ่กŒ often used metaphorically โ€” for โ€œacting,โ€ โ€œperforming,โ€ or โ€œmoving forward.โ€
