U+8D15 "贕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

贕

U+8D15 "贕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily means "to break an egg" or "to hatch" in classical texts, often referring to the process of a bird or chicken emerging from its shell. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, where it is classified as a logogram with a complex structure combining the radical for "shell" or "egg" (貝) with phonetic components that suggest a cracking or splitting action. Historically, this character appears in ancient literary works and specialized zoological or agricultural contexts, but it is seldom employed in modern writing or everyday language, making it an obscure example of the depth and specificity of classical Chinese vocabulary.
