U+4E2F "丯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
丯
U+4E2F "丯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that primarily appears in classical texts and historical writings. Its meaning is often interpreted as "bristling" or "prickly," evoking the image of something rough or spiky, and it is composed of three intersecting lines that resemble a trident or a pattern of thorns. While not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars and linguists can properly encode and represent this character when digitizing ancient manuscripts or studying the evolution of Chinese script.
