U+8008 "耈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8008 "耈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents an elderly person, specifically conveying the meaning of "aged" or "old age." It is a variant form of the more common character 耉, with both consisting of the radical 耂 (old) and a phonetic component. In historical and classical Chinese texts, 耈 appears infrequently, typically in literature or poetry referencing venerable elders or long life. This character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which includes pictographic, ideographic, and phonetically borrowed characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems.
