U+73E7 "珧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

珧

U+73E7 "珧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, representing the concept of "mother-of-pearl" or a type of small, luminous shellfish often associated with fine inlay work or decorative objects. This character is composed of the radical "王" (or "玉" on the left, meaning jade or gem) and the phonetic component "兆" (meaning omen or trillion), which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese as "yáo." Historically, the term has been used to refer to a specific kind of bivalve mollusk whose shells were valued for their iridescent interior, commonly employed in East Asian art and craftsmanship for producing lustrous inlays and ornaments. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this cultural and linguistic symbol can be digitally represented across modern computing systems, preserving its significance in written communication.
