U+9A53 "驓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

驓

U+9A53 "驓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character included in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block. It is composed of the radical "馬" (horse) on the left and the phonetic component "曾" (zeng) on the right, suggesting a pronunciation close to "zèng" or "céng" in modern Mandarin. Its primary meaning is defined as a type of horse, specifically one that is swift or spirited, though the character is virtually obsolete in contemporary usage and appears mostly in historical or classical texts. As part of the vast set of East Asian ideographs, this character represents the intricate logographic tradition that preserves ancient lexical distinctions.
