U+531E "匞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
匞
U+531E "匞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that falls under the Han script category, classified within the Kangxi radical 22, which is the "box" or "open box" radical (匚). Its composition combines the radical with the element "work" or "worker" (工), and it is thought to represent the concept of a craftsman or artisan, though its usage is extremely limited in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, appearing primarily in historical or highly specialized contexts. The character is defined within the Unicode standard under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, with a decimal value of 21278, and its historical readings and meanings are often obscure, largely preserved in lexical studies of ancient texts.
