U+5372 "卲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
卲
U+5372 "卲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a surname in modern usage, though historically it held additional meanings. It is pronounced as "shào" in Mandarin and appears in classical texts, sometimes as a variant of the character "邵" which itself can denote a place name or a respectful title. The character is composed of a left radical "卩" (seal) and a right component "召" (to call, to summon), reflecting its etymological roots in ancient Chinese script. In Unicode, it is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is rarely used in contemporary writing, serving more as a historical or linguistic curiosity rather than a common logograph.
