U+96D8 "雘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

雘

U+96D8 "雘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically refers to a type of red ochre or vermilion pigment used in ancient times for painting and dyeing, particularly mentioned in classical texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" dictionary. Its radical is "豕" (pig) on the left, while the right component "雘" contributes to the sound, and the character is often associated with the color red in the context of traditional Chinese art and craftsmanship. In modern usage, it is seldom encountered in everyday language but remains a point of interest for scholars of paleography and historical Chinese color terminology.
