A long thin 貝 kai component of 寶 ho is characteristic. There are eight varieties, but Hartill shows just three and Jones shows just two. This is the variety with an open見 ken component of寛 kan, a faulty コ ko/head component of 通 tsu with a hooked radical, and a closed 貝 component of 寶 leaning to the right.
