U+785E "硞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+785E "硞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character belonging to the stone radical (石) and primarily functions as a variant form of other characters, though it holds its own specific meanings in classical texts. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is roughly "què" or "kè" depending on context, and its semantic range often relates to rugged stone or a rocky sound, drawing from the components for "stone" (石) and the phonetic "告" (gào). Historically, it appears in ancient Chinese dictionaries such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as “石声” or the sound of stones striking together, and it can also denote a type of hard, uneven stone or the rattling noise of rocks. In modern usage, 硞 is extremely obscure, seldom appearing in daily written or spoken language, and is primarily encountered in academic references to classical Chinese philology or paleography.
