U+51E5 "凥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
凥
U+51E5 "凥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and somewhat archaic Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the character "居" (jū), meaning "to dwell" or "to reside," often in the context of physical settlement or place of residence. It is composed of the "cliff" or "dwelling" radical (厂) on top and the "table" or "desk" radical (几) below, suggesting a visual representation of a dwelling structure or a seated figure in a home. In classical texts, "凥" appears occasionally in place of "居" with the same pronunciation and meaning, but it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, making it a specialized entry in the CJK Unified Ideographs block for historical or scholarly reference.
