U+5B6F "孯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

孯

U+5B6F "孯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically obscure Chinese character primarily encountered in classical or literary texts. Its structure combines the radical for "child" or "son" (子) with a phonetic component, and its traditional meanings include references to a type of maritime creature or a term associated with the concept of "hardness" or "steadfastness," though its exact usage and definition in modern Chinese remain limited and highly context dependent. This character is noted for its infrequency in contemporary writing, making it a subject of interest for paleographers and specialists in ancient Chinese script.
