U+56B3 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character traditionally meaning "to announce" or "to make known," often associated with legendary accounts of ancient sage-emperors, specifically the mythical ruler Ku or Gux, who is a figure in Chinese mythology and early historiography such as the Records of the Grand Historian. Its structure combines the radical for "mouth" with components suggesting authority or proclamation. While it has very limited use in modern Chinese and Japanese, it is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and may appear in historical texts, genealogical records, or personal names, where it is pronounced "kù" in Mandarin and carries a classical, formal nuance tied to ancient imperial proclamations.
