U+535F "卟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+535F "卟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a phonetic component or a transliteration symbol in modern Chinese, often used to represent the sound "bu" in foreign names or loanwords. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts with meanings related to "divination" or "to consult an oracle," deriving from its composition of the "卜" (divination) radical with a simple mouth or speech component. In contemporary usage, it is most commonly encountered in the reduplicated form "卟卟" to mimic a gentle sound or beep, or in the context of onomatopoeia. This character is not frequently used in standard vocabulary but remains part of the CJK unified ideograph set, supporting East Asian text encoding.
