U+4F8A "侊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

侊

U+4F8A "侊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily appears in classical or historical texts, where it can carry meanings related to "great," "abundant," or "extravagant," and is sometimes associated with the idea of something being exceptionally large or flourishing. Its composition combines the radical for "person" (亻) on the left with the phonetic component "光" (guāng, meaning light) on the right, but its usage in modern Chinese is extremely limited, often replaced by more common characters like "侊" is effectively obsolete in everyday writing. In the Unicode standard, it belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block and has no widely recognized simplified or variant form, making it a niche but valid entry for scholars working with ancient or specialized East Asian script.
