U+5331 "匱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5331 "匱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to be deficient" or "lacking," and it also refers to a chest or box for storing valuables, though it is more commonly used in classical texts and formal language than in modern everyday speech. In historical contexts, it appears in the term "匱乏" (kuì fá), meaning "shortage" or "scarcity," and it carries related uses in Japanese and Korean as part of borrowed Chinese vocabulary. This character is composed of the radical for "box" or "enclosure" (匚) combined with the phonetic component "貴" (guì, meaning "expensive" or "precious"), which helps indicate its pronunciation and conceptual link to storage. While relatively rare in contemporary writing, it remains a recognized part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, supporting cross-language typographic consistency in digital systems.
