U+54BC "咼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
咼
U+54BC "咼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical and historical texts, where it functions as a variant of the character "呙" or appears in place names and surnames. Its meaning is often associated with a sense of being crooked, deviant, or having a sunken appearance, drawing from its radical components that suggest a mouth or opening with an angled shape. In modern standard Mandarin, it is less commonly used than other characters, but it retains significance in calligraphy, ancient literature, and specialized lexical studies where nuanced orthographic distinctions are preserved.
