I stand corrected for having wrongly excluded the + 6 form. But I wonder if
I'm, however, wrong to suggest the +5 form ? Isn't U+6B8B the last
ideograph in the radical + 5 and radical + 6 lists on page 876 of TUS 3.0 ?
It is true that for TUS 2.0, page 8-23, U+6B8B seems only to be listed under
radical+6 but with a radical+5 glyph...

I have checked ISO/CEI 10646-1:2000 and it looks like the +5 strokes form is
a simplified Chinese form (G-Hanzi) [2 horizontal strokes in the "suffix"]
and the +6 strokes form [3 horizontal strokes in the "suffix"] is used in
Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
