U+8D5D "赝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8D5D "赝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "false," "fake," or "counterfeit," most commonly used in the compound word "赝品" (yànpǐn) to refer to an imitation or forgery, such as a counterfeit artwork or product. Its traditional form is 贋, and historically the character has been employed in contexts involving deception or inauthenticity, particularly in art and commerce. The character is classified under the Kangxi radical 贝 (shell, representing wealth or money), reflecting its economic connotations, though the top component 雁 (yàn, wild goose) provides a phonetic clue to its pronunciation.
