Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+56C5 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically significant Chinese character representing the idea of a smile or to smile, specifically conveying a sense of grinning or laughing with a joyful expression. Its structure combines the outer enclosure radical "囗" (enclosure) with the inner component "單" (single or simple), though its usage is extremely uncommon in modern Chinese, appearing mainly in classical texts or as a variant of characters like "囅" (which is also pronounced "chǎn" in Mandarin). This character is classified as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph, meaning it is encoded for use across these languages, but it holds little practical application in contemporary communication, serving instead as a linguistic artifact of older written forms.
