U+5B5B "孛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
孛
U+5B5B "孛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with a rich historical and linguistic background, traditionally pronounced as *bei* or *bo* in Mandarin. It originally depicted a comet or a sudden radiance, with its ancient form combining elements of a person (子) and a mouth or speech (口), but it later evolved to represent concepts like "comet," "sudden light," or "a flourishing, disorderly growth." In classical Chinese texts, "孛" often appears in astronomical contexts to describe a comet streaking across the sky, and it is also used as a surname and in classical literature to denote bursting forth or abrupt change.
