U+9EDF "黟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

黟

U+9EDF "黟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the blackness or dark color associated with the material "black stone" or jet, and it is particularly known for its historical use in the place name Yixian, a county in Anhui Province, China, which was named after the dark, glossy stone found in the region. This character combines the radical for black (黑) with the phonetic component for clothing or cloth (衣) to suggest both its visual and material associations. In classical and modern Chinese, "黟" is used almost exclusively as a proper noun for this geographic location, and it appears in historical texts and local cultural references. Thus, it serves as a specific linguistic marker for a place tied to the production of black stone artifacts and calligraphy ink stones.
