U+54BE "咾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
咾
U+54BE "咾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) primarily used in classical or regional contexts, often associated with the meaning of "old" or "aged," though its exact usage can vary based on historical texts or dialectical applications. In modern standard Mandarin, it is relatively obscure and appears less frequently than its more common synonyms like 老 (lǎo), but it retains significance in certain literary works or traditional expressions where it may serve as a phonetic component or a variant form. Its structure follows the standard composition of a radical (typically the mouth radical 口 on the left) combined with a phonetic element (老), reflecting the typical formation of many CJK characters for sound and meaning.
