U+822D "舭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+822D "舭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that appears in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, and it is primarily used in modern and traditional Chinese texts to refer to the bilge of a ship, specifically the lowest inner part of a vessel's hull where water collects. Pronounced "bǐ" in Mandarin, this character is a phono-semantic compound, combining the radical for "boat" or "vessel" (舟) with a phonetic component. While not among the most common characters in everyday language, it holds specific technical importance in maritime engineering, shipbuilding vocabulary, and nautical contexts where describing the structure and maintenance of ships is necessary.
