U+4E0A "上" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
上
U+4E0A "上" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Chinese character meaning "above," "on top of," "up," or "to ascend." It is one of the most common characters in the Chinese writing system, used in a wide range of contexts from spatial relationships, such as "on the table," to temporal expressions like "last week." The character is composed of a short horizontal stroke above a longer horizontal stroke, visually representing something positioned above a baseline. Beyond Chinese, it is also used in Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar meanings and is classified under the Kangxi radical "one" (一). Its simplicity and frequency make it essential for learners of East Asian languages.
