U+8CBA "貺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8CBA "貺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that appears in the Kangxi Dictionary and is primarily used in Classical Chinese, where it conveys the meaning of "to bestow" or "to grant," often in a respectful or generous context, such as a gift from a superior or a deity. This character is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, representing wealth or value) on the left and the phonetic component "兄" (elder brother) on the right, though its usage in modern Mandarin has largely been supplanted by the simplified character "贶," which retains the same meaning. In historical texts, it is associated with acts of conferring favors or blessings, and it remains a rare but recognized glyph within the Unicode Standard for representing Chinese literary or religious writings.
