Unicode Version 17.0
赓
U+8D53 "赓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily carries the meanings of "to continue" or "to succeed," often used in classical and formal contexts to denote the ongoing progression of a lineage, tradition, or series of actions. It can also function as a noun meaning "a reward" or "compensation," and in historical usage, it appears in phrases like "赓续" (gengxu) to express the idea of continuously carrying forward a legacy or undertaking. This ideograph is composed of the radical "广" (roof or shelter) and the phonetic component "庚," and it is rarely used in modern everyday conversation, instead appearing more frequently in literary, scholarly, or ceremonial writings within Chinese and Japanese texts.
