U+51BC "冼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+51BC "冼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used primarily as a surname, most famously associated with the historical figure Xian Yuhui, a prominent general from the Three Kingdoms period. Its pronunciation is "Xian" in Mandarin (third tone) and it also appears as a component in some place names and less common words. The character is composed of the radical "冫" (ice) on the left and "先" (first, before) on the right, though its semantic meaning is not directly derived from this assembly in modern usage. While not among the most frequently used characters in everyday writing, it retains cultural and historical significance, particularly in Chinese onomastics.
