U+8CE8 "賨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

賨

U+8CE8 "賨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a type of tribute or tax paid in cloth or silk by minority groups in ancient China, particularly associated with the Ba people of the southwestern region. It also denotes a clan or ethnic group name and appears in classical texts as a term for presenting offerings or levies to a central authority. Composed of the radical for shell or treasure and a phonetic component, this character is rarely used in modern Mandarin but retains significance in historical and philological studies of early Chinese administrative and economic systems.
