Unicode Version 17.0

U+8204 "舄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character with historical and literary significance, primarily used to denote a type of shoe or slipper, often specifically referencing the footwear worn by ancient nobility or in ceremonial contexts. It also carries additional meanings related to water, as it can describe the appearance of a tidal flat or salt marsh, and in classical texts, it appears as a variant or component in other characters, such as being part of the word for "magpie" or functioning as a phonetic element in compound terms.
