U+4ED8 "付" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

付

U+4ED8 "付" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean) that fundamentally signifies the act of "handing over," "giving," or "paying." Composed of the radical for "person" (亻) on the left and the component for "measure word" or "attach" (寸) on the right, it evokes the imagery of a person entrusting or transferring something to another. Common usage includes words like "支払う" (shiharau, to pay) in Japanese and "支付" (zhīfù, to pay) in Chinese, as well as appearing in names and verbs related to assignment or delegation. Its meaning of conveyance makes it a core character in financial, transactional, and administrative contexts across East Asian languages, where the act of handing over carries both literal and transactional weight.
