U+7AF5 "竵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7AF5 "竵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and highly obscure Chinese character, classified under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, that appears in ancient or classical texts rather than modern standard usage. Its structure combines the radical for "bamboo" (⺮) with other components, reflecting meanings historically related to twisted, crooked, or distorted bamboo, or by extension, something that is irregular or bent out of shape. In contemporary contexts, this character is seldom used and is primarily of interest to scholars of historical Chinese scripts, linguists studying archaic vocabulary, or specialists working with digitized classical literature, as it represents a linguistic artifact rather than a living part of the written language.
