U+4E63 "乣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4E63 "乣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that historically functioned as a variant of the character 乩, which refers to the practice of divination through a planchette or spirit writing. In classical texts, it appears primarily in Taoist and folk religious contexts, often associated with magical or supernatural communication. Its structure combines a simplified radical for "small" or "minute" with other elements, and due to its infrequent use in modern standard Chinese, it is not included in common vocabulary lists and is primarily encountered in specialized historical or linguistic research.
