U+5F09 "弉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弉
U+5F09 "弉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in historical or classical texts, often as a variant form of the more common character "奘" (zàng/zhuǎng). It originally denoted something large, strong, or robust, and in Buddhist contexts, it was notably used in the name of the renowned Tang dynasty monk Xuanzang, who traveled to India to retrieve sacred scriptures. The character combines a radical signifying "big" or "great" with a phonetic component, and while it is less frequently used in modern simplified Chinese, it still appears in specialized literary or historical references.
