U+53B9 "厹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
厹
U+53B9 "厹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that historically functions as a variant form of the character 蹂, meaning "to trample" or "to tread upon," and is composed of the radical for a cliff or factory (厂) over the element for a ball or ball-shaped object (㕡). Distinct from the more common character 厹 (often confused with 九 or 丸 due to visual similarity), this glyph appears in classical texts and lexicons such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is noted for its phonetic and semantic connections to actions of pressing or milling. Due to its obscurity, it is seldom used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing and is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and paleography.
