U+7C12 "簒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
簒
U+7C12 "簒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to usurp" or "to seize" in the context of taking a throne or position by force, often with a negative connotation of illegal or treacherous seizure. It is composed of the bamboo radical (⺮) at the top and a phonetic component, and it appears in classical Chinese texts as well as in Japanese kanji (where it is read さん or うば.う) and Korean hanja, though it is less common in modern everyday usage. This character historically relates to concepts of power, rebellion, and illegitimate succession in East Asian literary and historical writings.
