U+5376 "卶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5376 "卶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a highly rare and obscure Chinese character that belongs to the broader set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideographs used in East Asian written languages. Its exact meaning is not clearly defined in modern lexicons, though it is structurally composed of the radical 匕 (a spoon or dagger radical) combined with other components, suggesting an archaic or specialized usage that has largely fallen out of common practice. This character does not appear in standard, frequently used Unicode CJK blocks and is typically encountered only in very specialized contexts such as ancient texts, historical dictionaries, or as part of the Unicode standard’s comprehensive coverage of all known East Asian characters. Its rarity underscores the vast and sometimes esoteric nature of the CJK Unified Ideographs collection, which preserves even the most obscure glyphs for historical and scholarly purposes.
