U+65F9 "旹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

旹

U+65F9 "旹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient and less common variant of the Chinese character "時" (shí), meaning "time" or "season," and is formed by combining the components for "sun" (日) and "temple" or "earth" (土 or 寺) above a mountain radical (山), reflecting an archaic graphical structure that emphasizes the passage of time in relation to natural elements. Historically, this character appears in classical Chinese texts and inscriptions, particularly in the Oracle Bone Script and Bronze Script, where it was used interchangeably with its more standard counterpart. In modern usage, it is rarely employed in everyday writing but may be encountered in historical or calligraphic contexts, preserving a tangible link to the evolution of Chinese script and conveying a sense of antiquity or poetic nuance when used in proper names or literary works.
