U+7ABE "窾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7ABE "窾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is a variant of the character 窽 (U+7ABD), with both often used interchangeably in classical and modern contexts. This ideograph primarily relates to the concepts of emptiness, a hollow, or a gap, and it is composed of the radical for "cave" or "hole" (穴) combined with a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is typically rendered as "kuǎn" or "kuàn" depending on the specific usage. The character appears in historical texts and dictionaries, where it may describe a hollow space within an object or a void, and it is occasionally employed in compound words or phrases that pertain to structural deficiencies or cavities. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it represents a shared heritage of sinographic writing systems, though its practical use in contemporary language is relatively rare, mostly confined to specialized or literary contexts.
