U+73B3 "玳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
玳
U+73B3 "玳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of tortoiseshell, specifically the hawksbill sea turtle, from which a glossy, mottled shell material is derived and historically used for decorative ornaments and inlays. It also appears in compound words such as "玳瑁" (dài mào), denoting both the turtle and the material. In East Asian cultural contexts, this character carries connotations of elegance and craftsmanship, often appearing in classical poetry and descriptions of fine accessories. As a component of the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified character set, it is used in both modern and historical texts across these languages.
