U+4F1D "伝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

伝

U+4F1D "伝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese-Japanese character that embodies a rich cultural history, primarily used in the Japanese writing system as a simplified form of the traditional Chinese character "傳" which means "to transmit", "to convey", or "to pass on". In Japanese, this character, commonly pronounced as "den" in on'yomi and "tsuta" in kun'yomi, appears in essential words such as "伝説" (densetsu, meaning legend), "伝統" (dentō, meaning tradition), and "伝える" (tsutaeru, meaning to tell or to communicate). It represents the concept of information or cultural heritage being handed down through generations, and its structure combines the radical for "person" on the left with elements that suggest movement or relay. This character is distinct from its traditional counterpart in that it omits certain strokes and reflects the orthographic simplifications adopted in Japan during the 20th century, making it a standard component of modern Japanese text and digital communication.
