U+8CAD "貭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8CAD "貭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that represents a variant form of the character "質" (zhì), which commonly signifies substance, quality, matter, or nature. This particular glyph, categorized under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, is historically used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, often appearing in classical texts or as a simplified variant in certain contexts. It combines the radical for "shell" (貝) or a related component indicating currency or value with a phonetic element, reinforcing its association with fundamental characteristics or tangible material. While less common in modern simplified Chinese, which uses "质," U+8CAD remains recognized within the Unicode standard for digital representation of East Asian scripts.
