U+4E80 "亀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
亀
U+4E80 "亀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (also used in Japanese and, historically, in Korean) that means "turtle" or "tortoise." It is a variant form of the more common character 龜, with the same meaning, and belongs to the Kangxi Radical 213 (turtle). In East Asian cultures, this character symbolizes longevity, wisdom, and endurance, as turtles are traditionally associated with a long life and the cosmic order. Its Unicode encoding allows it to be represented digitally across various platforms, though its appearance may differ slightly depending on region-specific fonts, such as the simplified versus traditional Chinese or Japanese typographic styles.
