U+4F2F "伯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

伯

U+4F2F "伯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in multiple East Asian languages, primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it carries the fundamental meaning of "eldest brother" or "uncle," often referring to a father's elder brother. In classical and modern contexts, it also extends to denote a person of senior rank or nobility, such as an earl or count, derived from its historical use in Chinese feudal titles. The character is composed of the radical 亻 (person) on the left and the phonetic component 白 (white) on the right, reflecting its structural origin as a phono-semantic compound. Beyond kinship and nobility, "伯" appears in compound words like "伯父" for an uncle and in surnames, making it a versatile element in written Chinese and related writing systems.
