U+807B "聻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+807B "聻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or religious contexts, most notably within Daoist and Buddhist scripture, where it sometimes serves as a variant of the word for "ghost" or "spirit" and is associated with the concept of a ghostly or spectral presence. While its precise meaning varies depending on the text, it is often linked to the idea of something hidden or eerie, and it is occasionally used in literature to represent a supernatural entity or a state of being beyond the ordinary. Due to its rarity, this character is largely unknown outside specialized scholarly studies of ancient Chinese texts.
