U+653A "攺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
攺
U+653A "攺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character historically used as a variant form of the character 改 (gǎi), which means "to change" or "to alter." Its structure combines the radical 攵 (meaning "to strike" or "to act") with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical texts and ancient dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is listed as an alternate or archaic spelling. While it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it remains a part of the CJK Unified Ideograph block for historical and scholarly purposes, representing a specific stage in the evolution of Chinese writing.
