U+65CD "旍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+65CD "旍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant of the character 旌, which means “banner” or “standard,” often used historically to refer to military flags or insignia carried into battle as symbols of command or authority. This character is composed of the radical 方 (fang, meaning “direction” or “square”) combined with additional components related to a flag or streamer, and it appears in classical texts and literary works, though it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, having been largely replaced by the more common 旌. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a historical layer of writing from East Asian cultures, particularly in classical Chinese and Japanese literature where it may denote a ceremonial or military standard.
