U+4ECF "仏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+4ECF "仏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a simplified variant of the Chinese character for "Buddha" or "Buddhism," traditionally written as 佛, and is predominantly used in modern Japanese orthography. It is composed of the radical 亻 (person) on the left and the phonetic component 弗 on the right, and its basic meaning refers to the enlightened one, the historical Buddha, or the Buddhist faith. In Japanese, it appears in common words such as 仏教 (Bukkyō, meaning Buddhism) and 仏像 (butsuzō, meaning Buddha statue), and it is also used as a respectful suffix in names and terms related to Buddhist figures. While 仏 is less common in modern Chinese, where the traditional 佛 remains standard, it is a key character in Japanese cultural and religious contexts, reflecting historical linguistic simplifications during script reforms.
