U+8FA1 "辡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8FA1 "辡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient and relatively rare Chinese character that originally meant "to argue" or "to dispute," consisting of two "辛" (xīn) components side by side, where "辛" itself signifies bitterness or pungency. This character has historically been used in Classical Chinese texts, often as an alternative or variant form related to the concept of verbal contention or legal debate. While it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it may appear in specialized dictionaries, historical documents, or calligraphy, and it also functions as a phonetic component in some other characters.
