U+6722 "朢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

朢

U+6722 "朢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used in classical texts, where it primarily means "to gaze at" or "to look into the distance," often carrying connotations of longing or anticipation. Structurally, it combines the radical for "moon" (月) with the component for "death" or "end" (亡), suggesting an association with the full moon as an object of distant observation. In historical usage, it appears in writings and poetry to evoke a sense of yearning, such as gazing at the moon from afar, and it is sometimes used as a variant for the more common character 望, though with a nuanced emphasis on the act of looking with hope or expectation.
