U+5F5E "彞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
彞
U+5F5E "彞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that represents an ancient variant form of the more common character "彝" (yí), which traditionally refers to a set of ritual bronze vessels used in sacrificial ceremonies, as well as to the concept of constancy, normality, or the Yi ethnic group in China. This specific glyph, with its intricate strokes and structure, is classified under the Kangxi radical 58 (彐, or 彑) but is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, appearing instead in classical texts, calligraphy, and historical inscriptions. Its inclusion in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block of Unicode ensures digital preservation for scholarly work and specialized typography.
