U+89FC "觼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+89FC "觼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character whose composition involves the radical for "horn" (角) on the left and the phonetic component "夬" on the right, suggesting a meaning related to a horn or a horn-shaped object. In classical texts, particularly in ancient Chinese ritual or musical contexts, this character can refer to an engraved or carved horn, sometimes specifically denoting a drinking vessel or a kind of horn used in ceremonies, though it is now largely obsolete in modern standard Chinese. Its historical usage appears in the Shuowen Jiezi and other early dictionaries, where it is noted for its connection to intricate carving or the act of prying open, reflecting its rare and specialized nature in written records.
