U+5003 "倃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

倃

U+5003 "倃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally used in classical and literary contexts, though it is extremely rare in modern usage. Its meaning is somewhat obscure, but it is generally understood to refer to the concept of an "old friend" or "ancient acquaintance," drawing on its composition from the radical for "person" (亻) combined with a phonetic component related to "old" or "longstanding." In historical texts, it occasionally appears as a variant or alternative form for characters like 舊 (jiù, meaning "old" or "former"), but it is not part of the standard modern Chinese vocabulary and is primarily of interest to scholars of paleography or those studying rare sinographs.
