U+53C6 "叆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
叆
U+53C6 "叆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in classical and literary contexts, where it represents the meaning of “cloudy” or “obscured,” often describing a hazy or overcast sky. It is a variant or less common form of the more standard character 靄 (ǎi), which carries the same connotation of mist or haze. This character is composed of the radical “云” (cloud) combined with additional components that reinforce its atmospheric association. While seldom used in modern everyday writing, it appears in historical texts and poetic works to evoke a sense of dim, misty weather.
