Source: Browser Default
U+5DEB "巫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a shaman or a medium, often used in the context of ancient spiritual practices, divination, and rites intended to communicate with spirits or deities. Composed of two "人" (person) radicals flanking a central element that symbolizes a connection between heaven and earth, the glyph visually conveys the role of an intermediary. In historical Chinese culture, a "巫" was typically a ritual specialist who performed ceremonies, dances, and incantations to seek blessings, heal the sick, or interpret omens, and the character still appears in modern compounds related to sorcery, wizardry, or supernatural practices.
