U+5BF6 "寶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
寶
U+5BF6 "寶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character meaning "treasure" or "precious object" and is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is composed of components that evoke a house or shelter containing jade and pottery, symbolizing valuable possessions or something held dear. In modern usage, it appears in terms related to valuables, respect, and endearment, such as "bǎo bèi" (宝贝) meaning "darling" or "baby" in Chinese. This character is distinct from its simplified counterpart "宝" (U+5B9D), reflecting the broader tradition of preserving complex forms in calligraphy and formal contexts across the region.
