U+596D "奭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
奭
U+596D "奭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically denotes a state of grandeur, abundance, or vivid redness, often associated with the color red or the appearance of being expansive and imposing. It has been used in classical Chinese literature and personal names, sometimes appearing in ancient texts to describe a powerful or flourishing quality. Its structure combines the radical for "big" with phonetic and semantic components, and it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, making it a specialized character primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics or traditional calligraphy.
