U+9FB9 "龹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9FB9 "龹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and relatively obscure Chinese character that belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, a standard set of characters used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. This particular ideograph is a simplified variant or component form of the character "卷" (juàn, meaning "to roll" or "a scroll") and is often used as a phonetic or semantic radical in compound characters. It consists of a top part resembling "䒑" (a variant of "an" or "grass") and a bottom part "八" (meaning "eight"), though its standalone usage in modern text is extremely uncommon, appearing mostly in historical or specialized dictionaries. Because it is rarely encountered in everyday writing, its practical applications are limited to academic contexts, such as character etymology or rare typographic studies.
