U+4E46 "乆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+4E46 "乆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or archaic Chinese character historically used as a variant form of the more common character "久" (jiǔ), which means "long time" or "duration." In ancient texts, it occasionally appeared as a shorthand or scribal variant, but it is not widely used in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems. Its structure consists of a single radical and a simple stroke composition, encoding a minor but recognized alternative within the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideograph set, primarily preserved for historical linguistic research and digital representation of classical literature.
