U+8CF9 "賹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

賹

U+8CF9 "賹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or historical texts. Its meaning is associated with a form of ancient currency or wealth, often interpreted as a unit of money or a type of valuable object in the context of old Chinese economic or ceremonial records. The character belongs to the Kangxi radical 154 (貝, meaning shell or money) and contains 16 strokes in its standard form, reflecting its connection to financial or trade-related concepts in traditional Chinese writing. While not commonly encountered in modern language, it serves as a notable example of how the Unicode standard preserves obscure but culturally significant logograms from historical scripts.
