U+51C1 "凁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+51C1 "凁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively rare Chinese character that originally refers to the act of freezing or congealing, often associated with cold temperatures causing liquids or substances to solidify. It is composed of the radical for ice or cold, 冫 (bīng), on the left, and the phonetic component 束 (shù, meaning "to bind" or "bundle") on the right, which suggests the idea of something being bound or solidified by cold. In classical contexts, this character appears in descriptions of freezing weather or the solidification of water, though it is seldom used in modern standard Chinese writing, having largely been replaced by more common terms like 冻 (dòng). As a component of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a historical linguistic artifact from the ancient East Asian lexicon, primarily preserved in dictionaries or classical texts rather than everyday language.
