U+797E "祾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+797E "祾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character traditionally composed of the radical "示" meaning spirit or altar, combined with "夌" which conveys a sense of majesty or climbing. In classical Chinese texts, it is associated with divine blessings, spiritual grace, or the idea of receiving favor from heaven, often used in contexts of ritual or ancestral worship. This character is not common in modern Chinese but appears in historical literature and calligraphy, where it represents a poetic or elevated concept of heavenly bestowed fortune. Its usage is largely confined to specialized or ancient script studies, making it a point of interest for linguists and scholars of Chinese epigraphy.
