U+7401 "琁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7401 "琁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in historical or Classical Chinese texts, where it joins a family of characters associated with jade or precious stones, as indicated by its radical (王, often simplified from 玉 meaning jade). In ancient references, such as the Shuowen Jiezi dictionary, "琁" is defined as a type of beautiful jade or gemstone, and it is sometimes used interchangeably with the character "璇" (U+7487), which also refers to a fine jade or the second star of the Big Dipper in astronomical contexts. While rare in modern standard Chinese, it appears in classical poetry and inscriptions, bearing connotations of rarity and value, and it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block within the Unicode Standard to support historical and literary digital preservation.
