U+4E08 "丈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
丈
U+4E08 "丈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing that primarily signifies a unit of length, traditionally equivalent to about 3.3 meters or ten Chinese feet. Beyond its measurement role, the character extends metaphorically to mean an elder or husband, as seen in terms like "丈人" for father in law, and it also appears in compounds referring to a tall or upright person. Its visual structure combines the radical for "one" with a form suggesting a foot or stride, reflecting its historical association with human scale and measurement. In modern usage, it remains common in names, classical texts, and everyday vocabulary across East Asian languages.
