U+7F59 "罙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7F59 "罙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or historical texts, where it functions as a variant form of the character 深 (shēn), meaning "deep" or "profound." Its structure combines a net or covering radical (罒) with a phonetic component reminiscent of 木 (mù, "wood") or related strokes, though its usage is largely obsolete in modern Standard Chinese, and it is not commonly encountered in contemporary writing or digital communication. In Unicode, it is encoded as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which standardizes characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems for global computing.
