U+746A "瑪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+746A "瑪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in the word for "agate," a semiprecious stone, and is often used in transliterations of foreign names and terms, such as "Mary" or "Mali." It belongs to the radical 王 (jade or king radical) and consists of 14 strokes, combining the jade radical with a phonetic component derived from the character 馬 (horse). Historically and in modern usage, it appears in various East Asian contexts, including traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts, where it retains its association with precious stones or phonetic representation. This character exemplifies how CJK ideographs can blend semantic meaning with phonetic borrowing across languages and scripts.
