U+4E5F "也" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

也

U+4E5F "也" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Chinese character known as "ye" in Mandarin, primarily functioning as a grammatical particle meaning "also," "too," or "as well," often used to indicate similarity or addition in a sentence. In classical Chinese, it also serves as a sentence-final particle expressing affirmation or judgment, akin to a period in modern punctuation. Its structure combines a simple horizontal and curved stroke, reflecting its ancient pictographic origins possibly depicting a basin or container. The character is widely used across both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems, appearing frequently in everyday language, literature, and formal texts, while also being preserved in Korean Hanja usage and occasional Japanese contexts.
