U+560F "嘏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘏
U+560F "嘏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in classical texts, primarily pronounced "gu" in Mandarin, and it carries the meaning of "great" or "blessing," often specifically referring to blessings or auspiciousness associated with longevity and good fortune. This character appears in historical and literary contexts, such as in the idiom "嘏辞" (gu ci), which denotes a prayer or eulogy for blessings recited during ancient rituals or ceremonies. Its structure combines the mouth radical (口) with components suggesting abundance or conferral, though it is considered a rare or archaic character in modern usage, preserved mainly in specialized scholarly or cultural references.
