U+5187 "冇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5187 "冇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in Cantonese and some other Chinese dialects, where it functions as a negation word meaning "do not have" or "there is not." It is structurally composed of the radical for "ten" or "complete" placed within a frame, contrasting with the character "有" (yǒu, meaning "to have") by omitting the inner strokes, visually representing the absence of possession. In standard Mandarin, this character is rarely used in formal writing, but it appears in colloquial contexts or regional literature, and it has also been adopted in Unicode to support the linguistic diversity of Chinese script across various dialects.
