U+5383 "厃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5383 "厃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that has historically been used as a variant of other characters, most notably associated with meanings related to "to look up" or "to depend on," and is sometimes linked to the concept of "danger" or "precipice" due to its composition of a person on a cliff. In modern contexts, it is seldom used in standard Chinese or Japanese writing, appearing primarily in specialized historical, linguistic, or calligraphic references within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unicode block, where it serves as a testament to the evolution of written East Asian languages.
