U+9B57 "魗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B57 "魗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and highly obscure Chinese character that appears in the vast Unicode CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph block, representing a logographic symbol historically used in classical Chinese texts. Its specific meaning is often cited as "to carry on the back" or "to lift," though it is not commonly found in modern standard vocabulary and is primarily of interest to scholars of ancient Chinese script or specialists in historical linguistics. Due to its infrequency in contemporary use, the character lacks widespread digital font support and may display as an unrecognizable glyph or a blank on systems without specialized CJK typefaces, highlighting the challenges of preserving and encoding extremely rare ideographs in the Unicode standard.
