U+79B2 "禲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+79B2 "禲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an uncommon Chinese character categorized under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, which encompasses characters used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems. This specific glyph is composed of the radical "礻" (shown at left, representing spiritual or ceremonial concepts) and the phonetic component "厲" (lì), giving it a reconstructed meaning related to inauspicious spirits or malevolent forces often invoked in ritual contexts to ward off evil. While its usage is rare in modern standard Chinese, it may appear in classical texts or specialized religious documents where it denotes a specific type of ghost or demon, particularly those associated with calamities or punishments. The character carries a historical and etymological depth that reflects ancient Chinese beliefs about supernatural entities and the role of ritualistic symbols in addressing them.
