Unicode Version 17.0
舃
U+8203 "舃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character, often associated with an archaic term for a type of shoe or slipper, sometimes specifically referring to a wooden clog or footwear made from natural materials. It appears in classical texts rather than modern usage and is composed of the radical for "mouth" or "enclosure" combined with phonetic and semantic elements that connect it to concepts of covering or footgear. This character is part of the larger CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, representing traditional writing systems where such glyphs hold specialized lexical or historical significance.
