U+537C "卼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

卼

U+537C "卼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character (hanzi) that has several historical and regional meanings. In classical Chinese texts, it can denote instability or unsteady movement, often appearing in compounds like "卼臲" to describe a precarious or rocking state. It is also known as a variant form of the character "嵬" (wéi), which refers to a steep, lofty mountain or a rugged terrain. Additionally, in some dialects, it may be associated with the concept of tilting or leaning. Though infrequent in modern standard Mandarin, this character remains part of the broader CJK Unified Ideographs block for historical and scholarly use.
