U+8CEB "賫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
賫
U+8CEB "賫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional and classical contexts, where it conveys the meaning of "to give a gift" or "to present something," often implying a formal offering or bestowal of wealth or goods. This character is a variant form of the more common character 賚 (lài), and it belongs to the Kangxi radical 154 (貝, meaning "shell" or "money"), which associates it with monetary or valuable exchanges. In modern usage, 賫 appears less frequently in standard Mandarin but may be encountered in historical texts, poetry, or specialized references where it retains its classical nuances of gracious giving.
