U+4E6A "乪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4E6A "乪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character, primarily used in Cantonese and some regional dialects. It is composed of the radical "乙" (second of the Heavenly Stems) combined with "工" (work or crafts), though its exact meaning is tied to historical or local usage, often referring to a specific place name or a variant form of a character in older texts. In modern standard Mandarin, this character is not commonly found in everyday communication, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that ancient or specialized scripts can be digitally represented for preservation and scholarly research. Its pronunciation is generally approximated as "náng" in Cantonese, but it lacks a widely recognized meaning in the core CJK lexicon.
