Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8F5C "轜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese ideograph that historically refers to a type of hearse or funeral carriage, specifically the vehicle used to transport a coffin in ancient Chinese burial rites. This character is composed of the radical for "cart" or "vehicle" (车) on the left, combined with a phonetic component that suggests a connection to softness or pliability (孺 or 需), symbolizing the solemn and careful transportation of the deceased. It appears primarily in classical texts and historical records, not in modern standard Chinese, and its usage underscores the cultural importance of ritualistic funeral practices in traditional Chinese society.
