U+8D20 "贠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
贠
U+8D20 "贠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used as a variant of the character 員 (simplified as 员), which means "personnel," "member," or "official," and also appears as a surname. It is composed of the radical 贝 (meaning "shell" or "money," a simplified form of 貝) atop the radical 人 (meaning "person"), though its structure can vary slightly in different fonts. In modern usage, the character is less common in standard Chinese texts but persists in personal names and historical contexts, particularly as a surname with origins in classical Chinese literature. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation across platforms, preserving its distinct graphical identity.
