U+7255 "牕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

牕

U+7255 "牕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "window," serving as a variant of the more common character 窗 (chuāng). It belongs to the Kangxi Radical 91 (片, meaning "split wood" or "slice"), and its structure combines the radical with 囱 (cōng), which originally depicted a chimney or opening in a roof. In classical texts, "牕" is often used interchangeably with "窗" to refer to an architectural opening for light and air, and it appears in historical literature and calligraphy, particularly in older or literary works where variant characters are employed for stylistic or phonetic reasons. Its usage has declined in modern standard Chinese, as 窗 has become the predominant form, but it remains a recognized glyph in Unicode for representing historical and regional writing systems.
