U+8D12 "贒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
贒
U+8D12 "贒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character that combines the radical for "shell" or "money" (貝) with a phonetic component, often interpreted as a variant or archaic form of the character 賢, meaning "virtuous," "worthy," or "able." It appears in classical Chinese texts and historical dictionaries, representing a concept of moral excellence or capability, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese or Japanese. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is part of the broader set of East Asian logographs that have been encoded in Unicode to preserve historical and linguistic diversity.
