U+53DE "叞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+53DE "叞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) whose primary meaning relates to aromatic herbs or fragrance, and it is sometimes used as a variant or component in classical texts related to medicinal plants or incense. This character is composed of the radical "又" (yòu, meaning "again" or "hand") and the component "㕚" (zhǎo, relating to claws or nails), and it appears in historical Chinese dictionaries and literary works, though it is rare in modern standard usage. In Japanese, it may be associated with the kun'yomi reading "にほい" (nioi) meaning "smell" or "fragrance," and it belongs to the Kangxi radical 29, which is the "又" radical, linking it to other characters involving action or grasping. Overall, U+53DE represents a niche but culturally significant element of East Asian orthography, primarily preserved in scholarly or historical contexts.
