U+656D "敭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
敭
U+656D "敭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and classical texts, primarily functioning as a variant or less common form for the character meaning "to raise" or "to display," sharing semantic overlap with the more standard character "揚" (yáng). It is composed of the radical for "rap" or "strike" (攵) on the right side and the phonetic component "昜" (yáng) on the left, which hints at its pronunciation. Historically, it appears in ancient literature and inscriptions, often denoting actions like lifting, spreading, or glorifying, but in contemporary usage, it is rarely encountered outside of specialized linguistic studies or historical calligraphy.
