U+6677 "晷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
晷
U+6677 "晷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means a sundial or a shadow cast by the sun, often used in historical and literary contexts to refer to timekeeping or the measurement of time. It is composed of the radical for sun or day (日) and the component for previous or old (咎), though its modern usage is rare and largely confined to classical texts or specific technical discussions of ancient astronomy. In traditional Chinese culture, the character symbolizes the passage of time and the tools used to track it, reflecting a deep connection between celestial observation and daily life.
