U+6BBC "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+6BBC "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "shell," "husk," or "casing," referring to the hard outer covering of nuts, eggs, or certain animals like turtles and crustaceans. It is also used in a broader sense to denote a physical structure that encases or protects something, such as a shell casing or a chassis. In traditional Chinese and Japanese contexts, this character appears in terms related to biology, mechanics, and even in expressions like "金蟬脫殼" meaning "to escape by cunning," where it symbolizes a discarded outer layer. With historical roots in classical texts, "殼" remains a common component in modern terms for "capsule," "shellfish," and "engine block."
