U+508F "傏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+508F "傏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the radicals for "person" (亻) and "hall" or "gazebo" (唐), and it carries an archaic or obscure meaning. Historically, it is recorded in classical Chinese dictionaries and texts as a term associated with a person who is foolish, reckless, or lacking in good judgment, sometimes glossed as "stupid" or "ignorant." Due to its limited usage, it does not appear in modern standard Mandarin vocabulary and is primarily encountered in specialized literary, historical, or philological contexts, such as the study of ancient Chinese scripts or rare character collections.
