Unicode Version 17.0
曋
U+66CB "曋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 72 (日, meaning sun or day) with twelve additional strokes, totaling sixteen, and is traditionally read as "shěn" in Mandarin. Its meaning is obscure and not widely attested in modern Chinese, but it is historically associated with concepts related to sunlight or the appearance of the sun, possibly connected to an ancient or variant form used in classical texts or names. In modern usage, this character is extremely uncommon, typically appearing only in specialized dictionaries or historical linguistic contexts, and it is not part of the standard vocabulary in contemporary Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.
