U+8255 "艕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
艕
U+8255 "艕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 130 for "meat" or "flesh," combined with a phonetic component, and it traditionally refers to the area between the ribs and the skin, often interpreted as the flank or side of the body. In classical Chinese texts, this character appears in medical or anatomical descriptions, highlighting a specific part of the torso. Its modern usage is extremely limited, as it has largely fallen out of common vocabulary, remaining primarily a historical or scholarly reference in the study of ancient Chinese literature or traditional medicine.
