U+9138 "鄸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9138 "鄸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character traditionally used as a surname, though it is not commonly encountered in modern usage. Structurally, it belongs to the radical for "city" or "town" (阝 on the right) and combines with the phonetic component "夢" (meaning "dream") on the left, suggesting an ancient place name or familial designation. Its meaning and application are largely historical, appearing in classical texts and genealogical records rather than contemporary writing. As a result, this character is of particular interest to scholars of Chinese etymology and historical linguistics, as well as to specialists in character encoding and digital typography.
