U+6588 "斈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

斈

U+6588 "斈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or variant Chinese character that essentially functions as an alternate form of the more common character 學 (xué), which means "to learn" or "study." While the standard form 學 is widely used in both traditional and simplified Chinese contexts, 斈 appears in some historical texts, calligraphy, or localized glyph variants, often representing the same concept of learning or knowledge acquisition. Its structure combines the radical 子 (child) with a simplified or distorted upper component, reflecting the orthographic variation that sometimes occurs in East Asian character sets. This character is included in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block to ensure proper encoding and display of such less common glyphs in digital text.
