U+53BC "厼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
厼
U+53BC "厼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or archaic Chinese character, part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, though it lacks a widely recognized meaning or standard usage in modern East Asian languages. It is classified under the radical "厂" (cliff) with a stroke count of seven, and its historical or regional significance remains obscure, likely appearing only in specialized historical texts, dialects, or as a variant form of a more common character. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital systems can represent this obscure glyph for scholarly or archival purposes, preserving a fragment of written heritage that is otherwise seldom encountered.
