U+5B96 "宖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

宖

U+5B96 "宖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that falls under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems. This particular character is composed of the radical "宀" meaning roof or house, paired with a phonetic component "弘" that suggests a meaning related to vastness or expansion, though its exact usage in classical texts is obscure and it is not commonly found in modern standard Chinese or Japanese dictionaries. It may appear in historical or specialized literary contexts, but for most contemporary readers it is considered a ghost character or an extremely obscure glyph with limited practical application.
