U+4E87 "亇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4E87 "亇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and somewhat ambiguous Chinese character, primarily used as a variant form of the more common character "個" or "个," both of which mean "individual" or "a unit of" and function as a general measure word in Chinese. Its structure combines the radical for "man" (亻) with the radical for "bamboo" (⺮) or a simplified form, though its usage is extremely limited and largely historical or found in specialized contexts such as personal names or older texts. In modern standard Chinese, "亇" is not commonly employed and is often replaced by the simpler "个" (U+4E2A) in everyday writing, making U+4E87 an obscure entry in the CJK Unified Ideographs block that preserves a linguistic artifact from earlier stages of the writing system.
