U+6616 "昖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6616 "昖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character, classified under the Kangxi radical 72 (日, meaning "sun" or "day"), and is composed of a total of 8 strokes. Its meaning and usage are not well-documented in modern standard Chinese, but it is known to appear in some historical texts and dictionaries, where it may represent an obscure or obsolete word, possibly related to the concept of a sun's movement or a specific time of day. In the Unicode standard, it is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, falling within the range designated for East Asian characters that may include often archaic or specialized symbols used in historical writing or names. Given its rarity, the character is seldom encountered in contemporary digital communication or common typography.
