U+511A "儚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
儚
U+511A "儚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "vague," "dreamlike," or "unreal," often conveying a sense of fleeting illusion or melancholy transience. In modern usage, it is commonly used in Japanese to describe something ephemeral or hazy, such as in the word 儚い (hakanai), which evokes the bittersweet beauty of impermanence. Historically, it is composed of the radical for "person" (亻) on the left and the phonetic component "夢" (dream) on the right, visually linking human experience with the insubstantial nature of dreams.
