U+621D "戝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+621D "戝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that serves as an alternative or variant form of the more common character "戜" or "賊" (meaning "thief" or "robber"), though it is less frequently used and appears in historical or classical texts. This character belongs to the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, and it is composed of the radical "戈" (spear or weapon) combined with other components to convey aggressive or thieving connotations. In practical modern usage, "戝" is rarely employed in standard writing, often replaced by more standardized forms, but it remains a part of the Unicode standard for preserving textual and linguistic heritage across East Asian scripts.
