U+5B8A "宊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5B8A “宊” CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that typically functions as a variant form of the more common character “突” (tū), meaning “sudden” or “to dash forward.” Its structure combines the radical “宀” (roof or cover) with “犬” (dog), which together evoke the imagery of a dog suddenly bursting out from under a shelter, reinforcing its association with abrupt movement or emergence. Found in classical Chinese texts and ancient dictionaries, this character is largely obsolete in modern usage, preserved primarily for historical or philological study within the Unicode standard’s CJK Unified Ideographs block.
