U+517E "兾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
兾
U+517E "兾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical or historical contexts, often functioning as a variant or archaic form of the character "冀," which means "to hope" or "to expect," and is also associated with the ancient region of Ji in northern China. This character is composed of the radical for "shellfish" or "cowrie" (貝) at the bottom, with the top element derived from "to rise" or "different" (異), reflecting its historical development in written Chinese. It appears in older texts and calligraphy, but in modern standard Mandarin, the more common form "冀" is typically used instead.
