U+5C17 "尗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
尗
U+5C17 "尗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "younger brother" or "uncle" in certain kinship contexts, though it is also historically used as a variant form of the character "叔" (shū) which carries similar familial meanings. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "small" or "tiny" combined with a component representing a spoon or ladle, symbolizing a sense of diminutive or subordinate status within a family hierarchy. In modern usage, it is less common than its more standard counterpart "叔", but it still appears in classical texts, personal names, and scholarly references to traditional Chinese kinship terms.
