U+663B "昻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+663B "昻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in classical or historical texts, often representing an archaic or variant form of the more common character "昂," which means to lift, raise, or hold one's head high. This ideograph is composed of the "日" (sun or day) radical on top and "卯" (a component associated with a ritual vessel or time) below, though its specific meaning in ancient contexts can vary, sometimes denoting brightness or grandeur. It appears in some literary or calligraphic works as a stylized alternative, and its usage is rare in modern standard Chinese, where "昂" is the standard form. In Unicode, it falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, encoded for compatibility with digital representation of traditional East Asian scripts.
