U+5705 "圅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

圅

U+5705 "圅" CJK Unified Ideograph is a rare or archaic Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to contain" or "to hold," often functioning as a variant of the more common character "函" (hán), which denotes a box or envelope. Its structure combines the outer enclosure radical "囗" (wéi, meaning "enclosure") with an inner component related to speech or halberd, reflecting its historical usage in classical texts to imply something enclosed or enveloped, such as a letter or a receptacle. In modern standard Chinese, this specific glyph is seldom used in everyday writing, but it may appear in specialized contexts like literary works or historical documents, where it contributes to textual preservation and typographic variety.
