U+53FB "叻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
叻
U+53FB "叻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in Cantonese and some other regional Chinese languages, where it conveys a meaning of cleverness, intelligence, or capability, often in a positive sense similar to "smart" or "able." It is commonly found in the name of the Southeast Asian country "Brunei," which is written in Chinese as 文莱 (Wénlái) with 叻 appearing in historical contexts, though it is less frequent in standard Mandarin usage. Structurally, it belongs to the left radical 口 (mouth) and the phonetic component 力 (strength), reflecting its phonetic and semantic roots in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set.
