U+704B "灋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

灋

U+704B "灋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that historically represents the concept of "law" or "legal model," serving as a variant of the more common modern character 法 (fǎ). Its composition combines the radical for water (氵) on the left, which symbolizes fairness and fluidity, with the element 廌 (zhì), a mythical beast said to gore the guilty in ancient legal judgments, and 去 (qù) on the right, conveying the idea of expelling wrongdoing. This form appears in classical texts and inscriptions, reflecting early Chinese legal philosophy where justice was intertwined with natural order and moral rectitude.
