U+4E11 "丑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

丑

U+4E11 "丑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with multiple layers of meaning, primarily associated with the concept of "ugly" or "unsightly" in modern usage, but it also holds significant cultural and historical roles as the second of the twelve Earthly Branches in the Chinese zodiac, corresponding to the Ox. In this traditional context, it represents the hour from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. and the direction of the north-northeast. Additionally, in Chinese opera and traditional performance, "丑" refers to the clown or comedian role, characterized by humor and a painted face, distinct from other character types. The character's form and usage thus bridge everyday language, calendrical systems, and theatrical traditions, making it a versatile and deeply rooted symbol in East Asian culture.
