U+4EE4 "令" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

令

U+4EE4 "令" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "order," "command," "decree," or "to cause" and is widely used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This ideograph is composed of the radical "人" (person) above and a modified form that suggests a kneeling or bowing posture, conveying the concept of issuing an authoritative instruction that others are to follow. In Japanese, it appears in words like "命令" (meirei, meaning "order") and in Chinese, it is a common character in classical texts and modern usage, such as in "命令" (mìnglìng, "command") or "令人" (lìng rén, "to cause someone to"). Its Unicode designation places it within the CJK Unified Ideographs block, a standard range that encodes characters used across China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, ensuring consistent representation in digital text.
