U+5F0E "弎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

弎

U+5F0E "弎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character primarily used as an alternative or formal variant for the number three, similar to how "叁" is used in financial or legal contexts to prevent forgery. It is composed of the radical "弋" (meaning "shoot" or "dart") repeated three times, visually representing the concept of three through its structure. In modern usage, it has largely been replaced by more common numerals or the standard financial character "叁," but it may still appear in some classical texts, calligraphy, or specialized numbering systems. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, and its pronunciation in standard Mandarin is "sà" or "sān," aligning with its numeric meaning.
