U+591E "夞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
夞
U+591E "夞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or specialized texts, particularly within Japanese kanji usage where it can represent a phonetic or semantic variant. Its structure combines the radical for "evening" or "night" (夂) with elements suggesting the concept of "to go around" or "to revolve," yet its exact meaning and usage remain obscure, as it is not commonly found in modern standard Chinese or Japanese dictionaries and is largely confined to classical literary or calligraphic contexts.
