U+5E77 "幷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

幷

U+5E77 "幷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character historically used as a variant of the more common character "并" (bìng), meaning "to combine," "to merge," or "and/also." It originates from ancient seal script and serves as a phonetic component in other characters, reflecting its role in classical Chinese texts where it often appears in compounds conveying the idea of joining together. While less frequent in modern simplified and traditional Chinese writing, it is preserved in some historical and literary contexts, as well as in Japanese kanji usage where it retains similar meanings. This ideograph corresponds to the Kangxi radical 51 (干, meaning "dry" or "shield") and is associated with the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a legacy of East Asian script evolution.
