U+4ED9 "仙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
仙
U+4ED9 "仙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes an immortal, transcendent, or celestial being, often associated with Daoist mythology and folklore. Composed of the radical for "person" (亻) combined with the element for "mountain" (山), its etymology suggests a person dwelling in the mountains, reflecting the ancient belief that immortals or hermits lived in remote, high places away from the mundane world. In modern usage, it appears in terms like "神仙" (shén xiān, meaning divine immortal or fairy) and "仙人" (xiān rén, meaning immortal person or fairy), and it frequently appears in Chinese literature, art, and language to evoke mystical or supernatural qualities.
