U+5F38 "弸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弸
U+5F38 "弸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of a full bow string or the act of drawing a bow to its fullest extent, often used metaphorically to express the idea of being fully loaded, filled, or stretched tight. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in the Unicode standard, which encodes characters shared across these writing systems. Historically, "弸" appeared in classical Chinese texts and is composed of the radical "弓" (bow) combined with the phonetic component "朋" (friend), though its usage is rare in modern everyday language and is more commonly encountered in literary or archaic contexts.
