U+513C "儼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
儼
U+513C "儼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that conveys the meaning of solemn, dignified, or majestic, often describing a person's respectful and reverent demeanor. It is composed of the radical for "person" (亻) on the left and the phonetic component "嚴" (yán) on the right, which itself means strict or severe. In classical texts like the "Analects of Confucius," it appears in phrases such as "儼然" to depict an attitude of grave seriousness or formal composure. This character is used in both Chinese and Japanese (where it is read as "gen" or "iken") but is less common in modern everyday writing, typically reserved for literary or historical contexts to evoke a sense of stately gravity.
