U+5F3F "弿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

弿

U+5F3F "弿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically carries the meaning of a type of bow or a powerful, springy energy, often associated with strength or tension in ancient texts. This ideograph combines semantic components related to a bow and elements suggesting force or action, reflecting its use in classical literature to describe the resilience or tautness of an object. In modern Chinese and Japanese, it is not commonly used in everyday language, appearing instead in specialized historical or linguistic contexts where archaic or obscure characters are studied. Its representation in the Unicode standard ensures that this historical glyph is digitally preserved for scholarly documentation and cross-platform consistency.
