U+5368 "卨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5368 "卨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically significant Chinese character, primarily associated with a legendary figure from ancient Chinese mythology. It is most famously used as the given name of Xie, an ancestor of the Shang dynasty in traditional accounts, though it has also been identified with a historical minister under the mythical Emperor Ku. In modern usage, the character is largely obsolete and appears mainly in classical texts, historical records, or as a component in some family or place names. Its structure represents a combination of radicals related to a vessel or container, reflecting its archaic origins in written Chinese.
