U+53BD "厽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+53BD "厽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that originally conveyed the meaning of a "flock" or "herd," often with specific reference to sheep or goats, and is composed of three "厶" (private or personal) elements stacked vertically, suggesting a gathering or multitude. This character is classified as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, appearing primarily in historical or classical texts where it functioned as an alternative form for common characters like "羏" or related to livestock terminology. Its structure and usage reflect an ancient method of forming ideograms by reduplication, emphasizing collective or repetitive meanings in early Chinese writing systems.
