U+9AE3 "髣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
髣
U+9AE3 "髣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in Classical and literary Chinese, where it primarily conveys the meaning of "vague" or "indistinct," often appearing in the compound word "髣髴" which translates to "seemingly" or "as if" and is associated with ghostly or ethereal appearances. This character belongs to the Kangxi radical number 190, representing "hair" or "long hair," and it is composed of the hair radical on top combined with a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation. While rare in modern everyday usage, it retains significance in historical texts and poetry, particularly in descriptions of supernatural or dreamlike states.
