U+505B "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+505B "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character (Hanzi) that has historically been used as a variant form or alternative graphical representation for the character 插, which means "to insert" or "to pierce," though its exact semantic range in classical texts remains somewhat obscure due to its infrequent usage. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, and its radical is traditionally classified under the person radical (亻), reflecting a semantic connection to human action or character, while its phonetic component suggests a reading similar to "cha" or "zha" in Mandarin. In modern usage, it is seldom encountered outside of specialized historical documents or large character sets, making it a point of interest for scholars of Chinese paleography or those studying rare logograms.
