U+4E23 "丣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+4E23 "丣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that represents the tenth of the twelve Earthly Branches in the traditional Chinese cycle, corresponding to the direction west-southwest and the time of day around 5 to 7 PM. In classical Chinese cosmology, this character is also associated with the concept of "ripened" or "fully developed," often tied to the element of Earth and the harvest season. While it is rarely used in modern Chinese, it appears in historical texts and compound characters, primarily as a variant of the more common character "酉," which denotes the wine jar radical or the rooster in the Chinese zodiac.
