U+53E6 "另" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+53E6 "另" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a classifier or adverb meaning "another," "other," or "separate" in modern Mandarin and other East Asian languages that use Chinese script. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) and the component "力" (power, strength), and its structure visually suggests division or differentiation, often used in phrases like "另外" (lìngwài, meaning "in addition" or "other") or "另眼相看" (lìng yǎn xiāng kàn, meaning "to regard someone or something with special respect or prejudice"). This character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which consolidates Han characters from China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and it appears in various historical and modern dictionaries as a common yet distinct glyph representing the concept of alterity or distinction.
