U+788A "碊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+788A "碊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) composed of the radical for "stone" on the left and the phonetic component "戔" on the right, and it is used in classical and some modern contexts to refer to a type of stone, a stone platform, or an area with rocks. In ancient Chinese texts, it can also appear as a variant form for other characters, such as indicating a slippery stone or a place name, though its usage in contemporary Mandarin is rare outside of specialized dictionaries or historical references. The character's structure reflects its meaning as a stone-related item, with the "戔" component lending pronunciation hints rather than a precise semantic connection. Due to its infrequency, "碊" is not commonly encountered in everyday writing, but it remains part of the Unicode standard to support historical and literary documentation in East Asian languages.
