U+5C12 "尒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5C12 "尒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character, often considered a variant or simplified form of "爾" (ěr), which means "you" or "thus" in classical Chinese. It is composed of the radical "小" (small) at the top and a simplified lower component, and it appears in historical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi dictionary. In modern usage, it is largely obsolete, though it may still be encountered in specialized calligraphy or historical linguistic studies as an alternate graphic representation of the second-person pronoun.
