U+785C "硜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+785C "硜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to the sound of stones striking together or the stubbornness and obstinacy often associated with such a hard, unyielding quality. Found in classical Chinese texts, it is used to describe a person who is rigidly devoted to principle to the point of being inflexible or dogmatic. Its structure combines the radical for stone "石" with the phonetic component "巠," which contributes to its pronunciation and sense of hardness or firmness. While not commonly used in modern everyday writing, it appears in historical literature and in the philosophical saying "硜硜然," which depicts a petty or narrow-minded person who clings stubbornly to small points.
