U+56FB "囻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+56FB "囻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character composed of the radical for "enclosure" or "country" (囗) surrounding the character for "people" (民), literally meaning "country of the people" or "nation of the people." It was historically used as an alternate form for the modern character "国" (guó, meaning "country" or "state"), particularly during the early 20th century in contexts emphasizing popular sovereignty or republicanism, such as in the name of the Republic of China (中華民國) where it was briefly promoted as a nationalistic variant. Today, it is seldom used in standard writing and is considered a historical or stylized character rather than a common part of everyday Chinese text.
