U+593F "夿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

夿

U+593F "夿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or classical texts. It is pronounced "bā" in Mandarin and is composed of the "big" radical 大 (dà) at the top, combined with the phonetic component 巴 (bā) below, suggesting a meaning related to largeness or extent. Unlike common modern Chinese characters, 夿 does not have a well-defined single meaning in contemporary usage; it is sometimes found in ancient dictionaries, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined as meaning "big" or "like," and it may appear as a variant or transcription in historical documents. Overall, this character stands as an obscure, nonstandard component of the Chinese writing system, rarely encountered outside specialized linguistic or classical studies.
