U+73BD "玽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
玽
U+73BD "玽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character classified under the radical for jade or gemstone (王 or 玉). Its meaning is obscure and not commonly encountered in modern Chinese texts, though it is traditionally associated with a type of jade or a jade ornament, possibly linked to an old term for a dog-shaped or dog-related jade piece, based on its phonetic component "狗" (gǒu, meaning dog). This character appears primarily in historical or classical Chinese dictionaries, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is listed with limited usage and no widely recognized contemporary definition, making it an artifact of the language's lexical history rather than a functional part of everyday writing.
