U+8CCE "賎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
賎
U+8CCE "賎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, primarily meaning "lowly," "vulgar," "cheap," or "despicable" in its extended sense. Historically, it is a variant of the more common character "賤" (also pronounced *sen* in Japanese and *jiàn* in Mandarin), and it is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, representing money or wealth) combined with a phonetic component. In modern usage, particularly in Japanese, "賎" can be found in words like "賎しい" (*iyashii*) meaning "vulgar" or "low-class," though it is sometimes considered a simplified or non-standard form. Its encoding in Unicode ensures digital representation across platforms for East Asian text processing.
