U+5BDC "寜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
寜
U+5BDC "寜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that conveys the concept of peace, tranquility, or serenity, often used in classical texts and personal names to express a wish for calm and stability. It belongs to the broader set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs, and its structure combines the radical for "roof" (宀) with elements suggesting stillness or contentment, reflecting its meaning of a peaceful home or state of mind. This character is historically variant with other forms like "寧" (Ning), which is more common in modern usage, but "寜" retains a distinct, classical aesthetic in calligraphy and traditional writing contexts.
