U+797B "祻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+797B "祻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or classical texts, often associated with ritual or spiritual context as its radical "礻" (the spirit or worship radical) suggests. It is defined in some dictionaries as meaning "to pray" or "to offer sacrifices for misfortune in the hope of obtaining blessings," though its usage is extremely limited in modern Chinese and it is not commonly found in standard vocabulary. The character's structure combines the religious radical with the phonetic component "古" (gǔ), and its exact function can vary among different historical sources, sometimes being confused or interchangeable with other similar graphs. Due to its obscurity, 祻 is rarely supported in common fonts and is primarily of interest to scholars studying ancient epigraphy or obscure textual variants.
