衞
U+885E "衞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that originally meant "to guard" or "to protect," often associated with military defense or escorting duties. It is a variant form of the more commonly simplified character "卫" used in modern Mandarin, and historically appears in classical texts and names, such as in the ancient Chinese state of Wey. In Unicode, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes a wide array of characters from various Asian writing systems, and its composition typically involves the radical for "go" or "step" combined with elements suggesting surrounding or safeguarding.
