U+4F34 "伴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+4F34 "伴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "companion," "partner," or "to accompany," and is commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. It consists of the radical "亻" (person) on the left, indicating its human association, and the phonetic component "半" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "bàn" in Mandarin. This character appears in everyday terms such as "同伴" (tóngbàn) meaning "companion" or "partner," and "伴随" (bànsuí) meaning "to accompany" or "to follow along." In classical Chinese, it also carries connotations of mutual support or association, reflecting its role in expressing social relationships. The Unicode Consortium includes this ideograph in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, supporting its use across digital platforms for consistent representation of East Asian written communication.
