U+5C20 "尠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
尠
U+5C20 "尠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that carries the meaning of "few," "rare," or "seldom," often used in classical or literary contexts to denote scarcity or rarity. It is composed of radical components that inherently suggest smallness, but its exact etymology and traditional usage are less documented compared to more common characters, leading to its classification as a variant or obscure form in modern Chinese script. Due to its infrequency in contemporary writing, this character is primarily encountered in historical texts, specialized dictionaries, or Unicode encodings for representing less common ideographs from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set.
