U+65DD "旝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

旝

U+65DD "旝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that appears in ancient historical texts, most notably in the Zuo Zhuan, a classic Chinese narrative of the Spring and Autumn period. It is defined as a type of battle flag or signal banner used in ancient warfare, specifically referring to a pennant that was attached to a post and employed to communicate commands or rally troops during military maneuvers. The character is composed of the radical 方 (representing a flag or banner) and the phonetic component 會, which together convey the idea of gathering or signaling. Due to its highly specialized and archaic usage, "旝" is not part of the standard modern Chinese lexicon and is primarily encountered in scholarly discussions of ancient military practices or classical literature.
