U+78B7 "碷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
碷
U+78B7 "碷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the radical for "stone" (石), suggesting a connection to stone or mineral materials. Its exact meaning and usage are obscure in modern standard Chinese, as it does not appear in common dictionaries or frequently used text, and it likely represents a historical or specialized term, possibly a type of stone implement or a phonetic loan in ancient literature. This character is part of the vast CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which was designed to encode characters shared across East Asian writing systems, though "碷" itself has no widely attested pronunciation or defined semantic role in contemporary contexts.
