U+4E02 "丂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4E02 "丂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that appears in classical texts, where it is traditionally associated with meanings related to breath, qi, or an obstruction in the flow of air, and is also used as a phonetic component in the formation of other characters. Its structure consists of a single horizontal stroke with a slight downward hook, reflecting its ancient origin as a pictographic representation. In modern usage, it is seldom employed on its own, though it retains significance in historical linguistics and the study of oracle bone script.
