U+5321 "匡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5321 "匡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to correct," "to rectify," or "to assist," and it also carries a semantic nuance of "to entrust" or "to rely on" in certain classical contexts. Structurally, it is composed of the radical 匚 (a box enclosure on the left) and the phonetic component 王 (king), though its modern usage often appears in words like 匡正 (to rectify) or in the name of the historical figure 匡衡 from the Han dynasty. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in Unicode, used across multiple East Asian writing systems for literary, philosophical, and formal expressions.
