U+8CE1 "賡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
賡
U+8CE1 "賡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "to continue" or "to succeed," often used in classical texts to convey the sense of carrying on a legacy or maintaining a sequence. In modern usage, it is less common and appears primarily in historical or literary contexts, such as the term "賡續," which means to continue or perpetuate. This character is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, money) on the left, and the phonetic component "庚" (a celestial stem) on the right, reflecting its origins in ancient Chinese script where it originally referred to compensating or continuing a line of descent.
