U+78C2 "磂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+78C2 "磂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that falls under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, and its usage in modern Chinese or Japanese text is extremely limited, often appearing only in specialized historical or linguistic contexts. Its composition combines the radical for "stone" (石) on the left, suggesting a material or mineral association, and the phonetic component "留" (liú) on the right, which implies a pronunciation similar to "liú" in Mandarin. The character's meaning is not clearly defined in standard dictionaries, and it may represent a variant form of other obscure stone-related terms or a toponymic element from ancient texts. As a result, it is primarily of interest to scholars studying rare sinographs or digitizing historical documents.
