U+51B8 "冸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+51B8 "冸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used East Asian character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to scatter" or "to separate," particularly involving ice or freezing elements. This ideograph combines the "ice" radical (冫) with a phonetic component, and its historical usage appears in classical Chinese texts where it describes the breaking apart or dispersal of ice during thawing processes. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, "冸" is not commonly encountered in modern daily writing, but it remains a valid character in extended character sets for specialized or literary references to the natural transition of ice to water or the scattering of frozen substances.
