U+503D "倽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
倽
U+503D "倽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that is extremely rare in modern usage and primarily appears in classical or historical texts. Its meaning is associated with the concept of "to gather" or "to collect," and it is sometimes used as a variant of the more common character "傘" (umbrella) in specific contexts. Found in ancient Chinese dictionaries such as the Kangxi Zidian and the Shuowen Jiezi, the character is composed of the radical "亻" (person) and the phonetic component "合" (to combine), which together suggest the idea of people coming together. Due to its obscurity, it is not commonly used in contemporary written Chinese and is largely of interest to scholars of historical linguistics or paleography.
