U+5BBC "宼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
宼
U+5BBC "宼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that combines the radical "宀" (roof) with "𠂉" and "攵," and is traditionally interpreted as a variant or unorthodox form of the more common character "寇" (kòu), which means "bandit," "invader," or "to invade." In classical and modern Chinese usage, "宼" may appear in historical texts or calligraphy as an alternative rendering, though it is not a standard modern character and lacks a distinct unique meaning outside of this connection. Its encoding in Unicode allows for the accurate representation and preservation of such variant glyphs in digital contexts, particularly in East Asian typography and historical documentation.
