Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+66CF "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally conveyed meanings related to direction, orientation, or a former state, often associated with the concept of "formerly" or "toward." It is composed of the radical "日" (sun, day) over a complex phonetic and semantic component, reflecting its historical use in classical Chinese texts to denote temporal or spatial orientation, such as "hitherto" or "in the past." While it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, it appears in literary or historical contexts, and its structure offers insight into the evolution of ideographic writing in East Asian scripts.
