U+4E60 "习" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4E60 "习" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "to practice," "to study," or "to become accustomed to," and it is a simplified form of the traditional character 習, which originally depicted a bird learning to fly. It is frequently used in modern Chinese as a standalone word or as a component in compounds like 学习 (xuéxí, meaning "to learn") and 习惯 (xíguàn, meaning "habit" or "custom"), reflecting its core sense of repeated action leading to familiarity. This character holds cultural and political significance as it appears in the name of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, but its standard use in language predates and extends far beyond that association.
