U+78A8 "碨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

碨

U+78A8 "碨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily functions as a rare or variant glyph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographic block. This character is composed of the stone radical (石) on the left, suggesting a relation to stone or rock, and a phonetic component on the right. In historical Chinese texts, "碨" is sometimes used as a variant of the character "磈" (kuǐ or wěi), which describes uneven terrain, a rough or rugged stone surface, or a sense of high and lofty topography. It appears in classical literature and dictionaries, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, making it a specialized entry for linguistic and historical contexts such as text encoding and ancient document analysis.
