U+53AF "厯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+53AF "厯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically represents the concept of "calendar" or "almanac," often associated with the measuring of time and the arrangement of days, months, and seasons. It is an alternate or variant form of the more common character 曆 (lì), which also denotes calendar systems or chronological records. In classical texts, 厯 appears in contexts related to astronomy, agriculture, and official timekeeping, reflecting its role in ancient Chinese administration and cultural practices. Although less frequently used in modern standard Chinese, it remains a meaningful component in historical calligraphy and traditional writing, preserving the link between human activity and the natural cycles of the sun and moon.
