U+8220 "舠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
舠
U+8220 "舠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified writing that represents a specific kind of small boat or skiff, often referred to as a dinghy or a small vessel for rowing. Composed of the radical for "boat" or "vessel" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, it appears in classical Chinese texts to describe narrow, lightweight watercraft used for river travel or fishing. While not common in modern daily usage, it retains significance in historical literature and poetry, particularly in descriptions of leisurely journeys or rustic maritime scenes. Its meaning underscores the deep cultural connection between Chinese script and traditional transportation on waterways.
