U+509C "傜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
傜
U+509C "傜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used historically in classical texts and personal names. It is composed of the radical for "person" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and its meanings include "to hire" or "to employ," as well as referring to a type of corvée labor or service in ancient contexts. This character is also associated with the Yao ethnic group in southern China, where it appears in older transcriptions of their name before modern standardization. In modern usage, it is largely obsolete, replaced by simpler or more standardized characters, but it remains of interest for historical linguistics and calligraphy.
