U+5F47 "彇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5F47 "彇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the radical "彡" (bristle or fur), though its traditional radical is often given as "弓" (bow) in historical dictionaries. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is "xiāo," and it carries an archaic meaning related to the sound of a bowstring being drawn or a sharp, swift movement, possibly evoking the image of an arrow in flight. Found in classical Chinese texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi," this character has no commonly recognized modern usage and is considered a dead or obsolete ideograph, primarily of interest to scholars of ancient epigraphy and historical linguistics.
