U+8CB5 "貵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貵
U+8CB5 "貵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historical Chinese character, primarily found in classical texts and older dictionaries. It is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, meaning wealth or money) and the phonetic component "弁" (a cap or a low-ranking official), and its traditional meaning relates to a type of monetary unit or a container for valuables, often interpreted as a small vessel or basket used to hold coins or grain. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese, and its appearance is largely confined to ancient literature or specialized linguistic studies, making it a point of interest for scholars of historical Chinese script and etymology.
