U+519D "冝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+519D "冝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese (Han) character that serves as a variant form of the more common character "宜" (yí), meaning "suitable," "proper," or "appropriate." Found in historical and classical texts, this character is composed of the radical "冖" (a roof or cover) and the phonetic component "且," though its structure and usage often represent a calligraphic or regional alternative to its standard counterpart. In modern Chinese and Japanese writing, "冝" is rarely used in everyday language, but it occasionally appears in proper names, decorative scripts, or as a typographic variant in traditional literature.
