U+4EE6 "仦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4EE6 "仦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese logograph that primarily functions as a variant or alternative form of the more common character "仨" (pronounced sā in Mandarin), which itself signifies the number three, particularly in informal or vernacular contexts. In traditional Chinese usage, "仦" originally represented the numeral three when referring to a group of people or items, though it has largely fallen out of standard modern writing and is now considered archaic or obscure. Its composition combines the radical for "person" (亻) with the phonetic component "小" meaning small, yet its actual semantic range is narrowly tied to numerical representation rather than literal smallness. Due to its obsolescence, this character is seldom encountered in contemporary texts, appearing instead in historical dictionaries or specialized linguistic studies of Chinese character evolution.
