璜

U+749C "璜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an East Asian ideograph primarily used in Standard Mandarin Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja, where it denotes a type of half-moon shaped jade pendant or ancient ritual artifact, historically worn as a ceremonial ornament or buried with the deceased. Composed of the radical 王 (jade) on the left and the phonetic component 黄 (yellow) on the right, the character reflects the cultural significance of jade in traditional Chinese society, often symbolizing virtue, status, and spiritual protection. In modern usage, it appears in classical texts, historical descriptions of archaic jade carvings, and occasionally in personal names or scholarly contexts, preserving its connection to ancient craftsmanship and ceremonial traditions.
