U+533C "匼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

匼

U+533C "匼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that has been adopted in Japanese kanji as well, with a primary meaning related to “surrounding” or “encompassing,” often referring to a box or a frame. Historically, it appears in classical texts with nuances of “to cover” or “to encircle,” and it is also used as a variant or component in more complex characters. Though not common in modern everyday vocabulary, it retains significance in scholarly contexts, particularly in the study of ancient Chinese literature and calligraphy, where its form as a radical (the "box" radical) appears in other characters.
