U+65EB "旫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+65EB "旫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or classical texts, where it denotes the concept of sunset or the early evening period, specifically the time when the sun has just set but the sky is not yet fully dark. Its composition combines the "日" (sun or day) radical on the left with "刀" (knife) on the right, though its exact etymological origin is obscure and it lacks common modern usage in contemporary Chinese or Japanese writing systems. Due to its rarity, the character is mostly encountered in specialized dictionaries, ancient literature, or as a component in historical names or poetic descriptions.
