Unicode Version 17.0

U+898E "覎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that appears in historical texts and specialized dictionaries, primarily representing a variant or archaic form of the character "覎" (yàn), which relates to the idea of a boundary or limit, often used in the context of geographical borders or edges. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoded for consistent digital representation across East Asian languages.
