U+5BD5 "寕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
寕
U+5BD5 "寕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a variant form of the Chinese character 寧, which traditionally conveys meanings of peace, tranquility, and a preference for stillness or serenity. Historically used in classical and literary Chinese contexts, this character appears in certain East Asian scripts, including Japanese (where it is a simplified or alternate form of 寧 in some historical typefaces) and Korean hanja. Its structure combines the radical for "roof" (宀) with components associated with abundance and stability, emphasizing a sense of calm under shelter. While less common in modern simplified Chinese, the character persists in calligraphy, personal names, and proper nouns as an aesthetic or traditional alternative to the standard 寧.
