U+9ACE "髎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
髎
U+9ACE "髎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in historical and medical contexts, primarily referring to a type of bone or a specific anatomical point, often associated with acupuncture points in classical Chinese medicine. It is composed of the radical for bone, 骨, indicating its connection to skeletal structure, and a phonetic component, 尞, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In modern usage, this character appears infrequently but is preserved in specialized texts, such as descriptions of acupuncture meridians or older medical manuscripts, where it denotes precise locations on the body.
