U+6B40 "歀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6B40 "歀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that has historically been used as a variant form of the more common character "款" (kuǎn), which typically means a section, paragraph, or sum of money in legal or financial contexts, as well as “sincerely” in expressions like “款待” (to entertain warmly). In classical texts, "歀" occasionally appears in place of "款" due to regional or calligraphic variation, though its usage is largely obsolete in modern standard Chinese, making it a niche symbol primarily of interest to scholars of historical scripts, paleography, and digitized character sets like Unicode for preserving less common glyphs from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) tradition.
