U+9AB7 "骷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
骷
U+9AB7 "骷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that functions primarily as a component in the word "骷髅" meaning skeleton or skull. It consists of the radical "骨" for bone on the left side, combined with "古" on the right which contributes phonetic value. This character is used in modern Chinese and Japanese to refer to a bare skull or skeletal remains, often appearing in contexts related to death, horror, or anatomy. Its presence in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block ensures consistent encoding across East Asian writing systems, where it retains this specific skeletal meaning.
