U+6B85 "殅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
殅
U+6B85 "殅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that falls under the radical for "death" or "decay" (歹), and its meaning is associated with the concept of resurrection or coming back to life, as it combines elements suggesting renewal or revival after death. This character is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese or Japanese, and it is primarily encountered in historical or classical texts, often in contexts discussing metaphysical or spiritual rebirth. Its structure consists of the "death" radical on the left, paired with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its limited but specialized semantic role in written East Asian languages.
