U+5BC8 "寈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
寈
U+5BC8 "寈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, primarily found in historical or classical texts. Its composition combines the radical for roof or shelter (宀) with the element for green or blue (青), and it has been interpreted as an alternative or variant form of the character "清" (qīng), meaning clear or pure, though its exact usage and pronunciation have varied across different periods and regional scripts. In modern standard Chinese, this character is largely unused, and it is categorized as a non-common glyph in Unicode, often serving as a reference for philological studies or ancient manuscript digitization.
