U+8FA0 "辠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8FA0 "辠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that historically means "crime," "offense," or "punishment," closely related to the more common character 罪 (zuì) which has the same meaning. Found in classical texts and inscriptions, its structure combines the radical for "self" or "nose" (自) with the radical for "bitterness" or "acrid" (辛), reflecting an ancient conceptualization of wrongdoing as a bitter or self-inflicted affliction. This character is rarely used in modern Chinese but appears in historical linguistic studies and calligraphy, where it represents a less common variant preserved in the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block of Unicode.
