U+5C13 "尓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5C13 "尓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that functions primarily as a variant or simplified form of the character 爾 (ěr), which carries meanings such as "you," "thus," "that," or "so" in classical and modern Chinese writing. It appears in historical texts and calligraphy, often used in compound words or as a phonetic component, and its structure resembles a stylized version of the original character with a reduced number of strokes. While less common than its standard counterpart, 尓 remains a recognized glyph in the Unicode standard, preserving a link to traditional orthographic variations found in East Asian scripts.
