U+99AB "馫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+99AB "馫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and highly specialized Chinese character formed from three instances of the character for "fragrant" or "sweet-smelling" (香), stacked vertically to intensify its meaning. It connotes an extremely strong or pervasive fragrance, often likened to the scent of orchids or incense, and appears primarily in classical or literary contexts rather than everyday modern usage. Composed with the radical 香 (fragrant) and 3 as its total stroke count for the Kangxi radical, this character is notable for its tripartite structure, which mirrors other Chinese characters that use repetition to amplify a quality, such as 鑫 (prosperity) or 森 (forest).
