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.
