U+53E7 "叧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+53E7 "叧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block. It is composed of the radical 口 (kǒu, meaning "mouth") and the component 另 (lìng, meaning "other" or "separate"), though its precise meaning in classical or modern usage is largely unattested and often considered ambiguous or obsolete. The character is primarily encountered in historical or specialized linguistic contexts, such as in ancient texts or as a variant form, and it is not a standard part of contemporary vocabulary. Because of its infrequent use, it lacks a well defined pronunciation or semantic role in most dictionaries, making it a subject of interest for those studying obscure CJK characters.
