U+501B "倛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
倛
U+501B "倛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that traditionally refers to a mask or effigy used in ancient exorcism rituals, particularly to drive away evil spirits or pestilence. It is composed of the radical for "person" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and its usage is largely confined to classical texts and historical contexts rather than modern Chinese writing. The character appears in early Chinese dictionaries and literary works, where it describes a frightening face or image employed in ceremonial practices to ward off harm, making it a specialized relic of the language's cultural and religious history.
