U+9ED5 "黕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
黕
U+9ED5 "黕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex logograph used in traditional Chinese writing, where it has the primary meaning of "black" or "dark" and can also refer to the act of applying black ink or making something dirty. This character belongs to the "black" radical (黑) and is composed of strokes that visually depict a darkened or stained quality. In classical texts, it occasionally appears in poetic or descriptive contexts to emphasize deep, dark colors, but it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, making it an obscure character primarily of interest to historical linguistics, paleography, or specialized literary studies.
