U+51EE "凮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+51EE "凮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and traditional Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the more common character "風" (fēng), meaning wind. In classical texts and some historical contexts, "凮" appears as an alternative glyph with a slightly different structural composition, often representing the same concept of air in motion or atmospheric breeze. Its usage is largely obsolete in modern standard Chinese, though it may still be encountered in ancient literature, calligraphy, or specialized dictionaries as a graphical variant. The character belongs to the Kangxi radical 182 (風), the wind radical, and its encoding in Unicode preserves access to this less common orthographic form for scholarly and linguistic purposes.
