U+5E07 "帇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5E07 "帇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historic Chinese character that appears in classical texts and character dictionaries, where it is used as a variant form of "nian" (年), meaning "year." Its structure combines the radical for "cloth" or "silk" (巾) on the outside with a phonetic component inside, reflecting an ancient writing system where the character originally represented a type of woven fabric or decorative cloth. While it is no longer used in modern standard Chinese, "帇" retains significance for scholars studying paleography and the evolution of Chinese script, appearing in compilations like the Kangxi Dictionary as an alternative glyph for certain traditional uses.
