U+8CB1 "貱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貱
U+8CB1 "貱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely obsolete Chinese character found within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideograph block of the Unicode standard. Its meaning is not commonly defined in modern dictionaries, but historical references suggest it relates to the concept of giving or bestowing, particularly in the context of wealth or property, as its structure combines the radical for "cowrie shell" or "wealth" (貝) with a phonetic component. This character does not appear in frequent modern usage across any of the major CJK languages, making it a specialized entry primarily of interest to scholars of historical Chinese script, epigraphy, or Unicode encoding.
