U+56EF "囯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
囯
U+56EF "囯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a variant or simplified form of the character 國 (guó), which means "country" or "nation." This specific glyph features the radical 囗 (enclosure) surrounding the component 玉 (jade), symbolizing a nation's value or treasure, and it is occasionally used in historical or calligraphic contexts. Its usage is distinct from the more common simplified character 国, as 囯 retains the jade element inside the enclosure, reflecting an older or alternative orthographic tradition within Chinese writing.
