Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5918 "夘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare East Asian character representing an ancient or variant form of the character for a Chinese cyclical sign, specifically the fourth Earthly Branch, which is typically associated with the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac and the direction east. Often confused with or used interchangeably with the more common character "卯" (mǎo), "夘" retains the same core meanings related to time, the moon, and the second month of the traditional Chinese calendar, though its usage in modern texts is minimal and largely relegated to historical or esoteric contexts.
