U+78BD "碽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+78BD "碽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an East Asian character classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, primarily used in historical or archaic Chinese texts. Its meaning is obscure in modern usage, but it is traditionally associated with the sound "gōng" and appears in ancient dictionaries specifically referencing a type of stone or a jade-like object, often linked to ritual or musical instruments in classical literature. The character is composed of the radical 石 (stone) and the phonetic component 工 (work), indicating its structural classification as a phono-semantic compound. Due to its rarity, it is seldom used in contemporary writing and is mainly encountered in scholarly contexts involving paleography or the study of ancient Chinese sources.
