U+4E9E "亞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+4E9E "亞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "second," "inferior," or "subordinate," and it also serves as a component in words related to rankings, such as "亞軍" meaning runner-up or second place in a competition. This character is historically significant as it was also used as a phonetic element in loanwords, like in the name "亞洲" for Asia, where it conveys a sense of something that comes after or is secondary. In its traditional form, "亞" features a distinct structure with a top horizontal stroke and a symmetrical arrangement of strokes below, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, supporting its use across multiple East Asian writing systems.
