U+8CE3 "賣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
賣
U+8CE3 "賣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that means "to sell," and it is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, symbolizing wealth or trade) combined with phonetic and semantic components indicating the act of exchanging goods for money. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encompasses historical and modern logographs used across East Asian writing systems. In traditional Chinese, it is distinct from its simplified counterpart "卖," though both share the core meaning of selling or offering for sale in commerce.
