些

U+4E9B "些" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "some," "few," or "a little," and is commonly used in both Mandarin and Classical Chinese to indicate an indefinite small quantity or degree. Structurally, it is composed of the radical "二" (two) at the top and "此" (this) below, though its etymology is traditionally understood as a combinatory form representing a small, indistinct number of items. In modern usage, it appears frequently in words like "一些" (yīxiē, meaning "some" or "a few") and "些微" (xiēwēi, meaning "slightly"). The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which encompasses characters used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, and it carries a standard Unicode version 1.1 date of June 1993.
