U+73D3 "珓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+73D3 "珓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the radical for jade or gemstone, reflecting its original association with ritual objects. In classical Chinese contexts, 珓 refers specifically to the "divination blocks" or moon blocks, a pair of crescent-shaped wooden or jade pieces used in traditional Chinese folk religion for casting lots to seek guidance from deities. These blocks are thrown in front of an altar, and their resulting positions (both flat, both rounded, or one of each) are interpreted as yes, no, or uncertain responses from the spiritual realm. The character carries historical and cultural significance in East Asian traditions, particularly within Taoist and ancestor worship practices, though its use in modern written Chinese is rare and largely confined to religious or literary references.
