U+8CA6 "貦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貦
U+8CA6 "貦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the radical for shell or money, and it does not appear in modern standard Chinese vocabulary. Its exact meaning is obscure, but it is thought to be a variant form related to ancient terms for jade or precious objects, possibly indicating a type of ornament or valued item in historical texts. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes characters shared across these writing systems, though "貦" has no known usage in contemporary Japanese or Korean either. Its obscurity means it is primarily of interest to scholars of paleography or Unicode standardization.
