U+742D "琭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+742D "琭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) primarily used in historical and classical texts, often appearing as a component in names or descriptive terms related to jade or precious stones, as its radical 王 (jade) suggests. It is pronounced "lù" in Mandarin and has been documented in ancient Chinese dictionaries like the Shuowen Jiezi, where it denotes a kind of jade or a specific type of gemstone, sometimes also linked to the brightness or luster of such materials. In modern usage, this character is rare, but it may occur in formal or literary contexts, such as in the phrase "琭琭" which describes the gleaming appearance of jade. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for accurate digital representation of these classical Chinese texts and specialized nomenclature.
