U+4F20 "传" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
传
U+4F20 "传" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "to pass on," "to transmit," or "to spread," and is often used in the context of communication, tradition, or biography, as seen in words like "传说" (legend) or "传递" (to deliver). It is composed of the radical 人 (person) on the left and the phonetic component 专 (zhuān) on the right, making it a common character in modern Chinese and Japanese writing. As a frequently used CJK ideograph, it appears in both simplified and traditional scripts, though its simplified form appears here as part of the Unicode standard covering unified Han characters across East Asian languages.
