U+8841 "衁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
衁
U+8841 "衁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to blood, specifically blood from a sacrificial offering or blood that has been shed. In classical texts, it often appears in contexts related to ancient rituals, medicine, or descriptions of bodily fluids, distinguishing it from the more common modern character for blood, 血 (xuè). Its structure combines the radical 血 (blood) with a phonetic component, reflecting its etymological roots in Old Chinese. Due to its archaic usage, 衁 is seldom encountered in contemporary writing but may be found in specialized historical or literary works.
