U+738F "玏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+738F "玏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely archaic Chinese character that combines the "jade" or "king" radical (王) on the left with the phonetic component "力" (lì, meaning strength or power) on the right. Historically, this character is found in classical texts and dictionaries such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as a type of jade or a stone resembling jade, likely symbolizing something precious yet derived from effort. Its meaning, however, is not well-attested in modern Chinese usage, and it appears primarily as a historical or lexicographical curiosity with no common contemporary application.
