U+9EC8 "黈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

黈

U+9EC8 "黈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character primarily used in ancient texts and personal names, rather than in modern everyday language. It is composed of the radical for "yellow" (黄) combined with a phonetic component, and its core meaning relates to the color yellow, often describing a shade of yellow or a yellow color that is mixed or impure. In classical Chinese literature, it appears in specific compounds or as part of an individual's name, and its use in modern computing is limited to supporting the full encoding of historical and classical Chinese documents.
