U+4E1A "业" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
业
U+4E1A "业" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally depicted a wooden board or stand used for hanging musical instruments, but in modern usage it has come to primarily mean "industry," "business," "occupation," or "profession," and is a common component in compounds such as 行业 (industry/trade) and 企业 (enterprise/company). Its simplified form, adopted after character reforms in the mid 20th century, is distinct from the traditional character 業, and it carries a secondary meaning of "already" in classical contexts, though this usage is rare in contemporary language.
