U+4E8A "亊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
亊
U+4E8A "亊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or variant Chinese character that primarily represents an altered form of the more common character "事" (shì), which means "matter," "affair," "thing," or "event." It is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese scripts, and was included in Unicode for the purpose of historical or typographic representation. While visually similar to "事," "亊" features a slightly different composition of strokes, often appearing in older or nonstandard texts, and its usage today is generally limited to specialized contexts such as calligraphy, palaeography, or certain regional typefaces.
