U+8059 "聙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8059 "聙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that belongs to the set of East Asian ideographs used in historical or specialized texts. It is composed of the radical "耳" (ear) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, typically suggesting meanings related to hearing or sharpness of perception, though its precise modern usage is obscure and it is not a common character in contemporary Mandarin or Japanese. The character is primarily of interest to scholars of ancient Chinese literature, lexicography, or Unicode encoding.
