U+517A "兺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+517A "兺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character, classified as a variant of the more common character "兮" (xī), which functions as a grammatical particle in Classical Chinese, often akin to an exclamation or a rhythmic pause in poetry. Its structure combines the top radical "八" (meaning "eight" or "to divide") with the bottom element "𠃋", though its precise historical usage is obscure and it does not appear in standard modern Chinese dictionaries or common texts. This character is primarily of interest to scholars of historical orthography or those working with extensive CJK character sets, as it represents a specialized or deprecated form within the vast repertoire of Chinese script.
