U+5B68 "孨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

孨

U+5B68 "孨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and unusual Chinese character composed of three instances of the radical for "son" or "child" stacked in a triangular formation, visually representing the concept of many children or continuous offspring. Historically, it carries the meanings of "orphan" or "pitiful" in classical texts, and in modern Chinese, it is sometimes used as a specialized surname or in transcriptions, though it is not commonly encountered in everyday usage. The character is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is valued for its unique triple repetition structure, which emphasizes abundance or multiplicity within its semantic field.
