U+73EF "珯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
珯
U+73EF "珯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a lesser-known and infrequently used Chinese character, classified as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block. Its primary meaning relates to an archaic or dialectal term, often interpreted as "to treat with respect" or "to honor," particularly in contexts involving elderly or revered figures. The character is composed of the radical 王 (jade/king) on the left and the phonetic component 老 (meaning old or aged) on the right, which together suggest a semantic connection to veneration or dignified regard for tradition. Due to its rarity in modern Chinese writing, it is not included in common vocabulary lists and appears mainly in classical texts or specialized dictionaries.
