U+5F41 "彁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
彁
U+5F41 "彁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and somewhat controversial Chinese character, often cited as a so-called "ghost character" (幽霊文字) in the context of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) encoding history. It was originally included in the JIS X 0208 standard based on a misreading or erroneous source, contributing to its status as an irregular or artificial character with no confirmed traditional usage in authentic Chinese or Japanese texts. While it exists within the Unicode standard for historical encoding consistency, it lacks a clear meaning or established phonetic value and is generally not used in modern writing.
