U+5917 "夗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

夗

U+5917 "夗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character primarily used in classical or literary contexts, with its pronunciation and meaning varying across different historical texts. It is often associated with the concept of turning over in bed or a state of restlessness, as seen in its appearance in ancient Chinese dictionaries like the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as lying down and turning sideways. The character is composed of the radical "夕" (evening or night) and the phonetic component "夗," which together evoke imagery related to nighttime movement or posture. Due to its specialized and archaic usage, "夗" is not commonly encountered in modern Chinese writing but remains of interest to scholars studying early Chinese scripts and semantic evolution.
