U+5928 "夨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
夨
U+5928 "夨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient Chinese character that depicts a person tilting or leaning their head to the side, often interpreted as meaning "to incline" or "to slant," with its form derived from a pictograph of a human figure with a skewed head. This character is primarily found in classical or historical texts rather than in modern usage, and it belongs to the Kangxi radical classification under radical 37 (大, meaning "big"), though its structure differs from the more common character "夨" (which can also be a variant). Its use in Unicode ensures the preservation of this rare glyph for scholarly and digital text representation in East Asian languages.
