U+7873 "硳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
硳
U+7873 "硳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character (hanzi) that is primarily used in historical or specialized contexts. Its composition combines the radical 石 (meaning "stone") on the left, and the phonetic component 赤 (meaning "red") on the right, which together typically denote a specific type of red stone or mineral, often associated with the mineral cinnabar. This character is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin or Japanese, but may appear in classical texts, glossaries of mineralogy, or names for old geological substances, where it conveys a nuanced reference to a reddish-colored rock.
