U+8CD4 "賔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

賔

U+8CD4 "賔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that serves as a variant of the more common character "賓" (bin), which generally denotes a guest, visitor, or to treat someone with hospitality. Found in historical and classical texts, this glyph was frequently used in East Asian writing systems, including traditional Chinese and Japanese, before standardizations favored the simplified version. Its structure combines the radical for "shell" or "money" (貝) with a phonetic component, reflecting its semantic ties to wealth and honor associated with hosting guests, and it remains relevant in scholarly contexts such as ancient literature and calligraphy.
