U+8D68 "赨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D68 "赨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character (hanzi) that appears in historical and classical texts, primarily associated with the color red, often specifically describing a shade of deep red or vermillion, and it is sometimes used as a variant or archaic form of the modern characters meaning red. The character is composed of the radical for "cinnabar" or "red" (赤) on the left, which provides the semantic clue for color, and a phonetic component on the right (同) that suggests its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is "tóng". Due to its obscurity, it is seldom used in contemporary Chinese writing and is largely encountered only in specialized dictionaries, ancient documents, or scholarly works on Chinese paleography and character evolution.
