The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
A xian (Chinese: 仙/僊; pinyin: xiān; Wade–Giles: hsien) is any manner of immortal, mythical being within the Taoist pantheon or Chinese folklore. Xian has often been translated into English as "immortal".
Traditionally, xian refers to mortal beings who have attained immortality and supernatural abilities, with a connection to the heavenly realms inaccessible to mortals. This is often achieved through spiritual self-cultivation, alchemy, or worship by others. This is different from the gods in Chinese mythology and Taoism.
Xian is also used as a descriptor to refer to often benevolent figures of great historical, spiritual and cultural significance. The Quanzhen School of Daoism had a variety of definitions about what xian means during its history, including a metaphorical meaning where the term simply means a good, principled person.
Xian have been venerated from ancient times to the modern day in a variety of ways across different cultures and religious sects in China.
