U+8D17 "贗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
贗
U+8D17 "贗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily means "false," "counterfeit," or "forged," often used in literary and formal contexts to describe something spurious or inauthentic. Its traditional form is 贗, while the simplified version is 赝, and it appears in classical texts and modern Chinese as part of compound words like yanpin (赝品), meaning a fake or replica, particularly in reference to artworks, antiques, or documents. The character's structure combines the radical "bei" (贝, meaning shell or money) with phonetic components, reflecting its semantic ties to valuation and deception. In Unicode, it falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a standardized encoding for East Asian scripts.
