U+6617 "昗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6617 "昗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character, classified under the Kangxi radical 72 for "sun" or "day," which appears as the top component in its structure. This character combines the sun radical with the element "夂" (meaning "to go" or "slowly") at the bottom, suggesting a possible ancient meaning related to the sun's movement or the passage of time, though its precise definition and usage are not well-documented in standard modern Chinese texts. It is primarily encountered in historical or classical contexts, such as in older lexicons or as a variant form within bird nomenclature, specifically linked to certain ornithological terms describing a type of bird's association with daylight. Due to its rarity, it is seldom used in contemporary writing, remaining mostly a subject of interest for scholars of paleography and Unicode character enthusiasts.
