U+5958 "奘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
奘
U+5958 "奘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both classical and modern contexts, most notably as a component in the name of the famous Tang dynasty monk and translator Xuanzang, whose journey to India inspired the novel Journey to the West. Morphologically, this character combines the "big" radical (大, dà) with a phonetic element (壯, zhuàng, meaning strong or robust) to convey meanings such as large, stout, or rugged. In historical texts, it often describes physical size or strength, and it remains in use today for personal names and specific literary references, though it is not among the most common characters in everyday writing.
