U+5C36 "尶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5C36 "尶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or historical texts, representing a variant form of the character "尰" which means a swollen or inflamed foot, often associated with conditions like beriberi or edema. Composed of the radical "尢" (lame or weak) and the phonetic component "干," this ideograph is found in traditional Chinese dictionaries and literature, though it is not commonly employed in modern standard Mandarin. Its usage highlights the complexity of historical Chinese character variants, where slight graphic differences, such as this one involving a modified radical, denote related but distinct meanings within the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified repertoire.
