U+78ED "磭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
磭
U+78ED "磭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the radical 石 (stone) and a complex phonetic component, primarily found in classical texts and historical dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary. Its meaning is obscure and not commonly recorded in modern standard Chinese, with some sources suggesting it refers to a type of stone or a tool, though its precise usage and pronunciation are largely lost to everyday language. This character represents one of many archaic or obsolete sinographs preserved in the Unicode standard for historical and scholarly purposes.
