U+8657 "虗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8657 "虗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or classical texts, where it functions as a variant form of the more common character "虛" (xū), meaning emptiness, void, or falsehood. Composed of the "tiger" radical (虍) atop a simplified phonetic component, this ideograph retains the same core semantic range, denoting concepts of hollowness, weakness, or pretense in literary and philosophical contexts, such as in Daoist and Confucian writings. While not part of modern standard Chinese usage, it occasionally surfaces in calligraphy, antique document reproduction, or specialized sinological studies.
