Unicode Version 17.0
俳
U+4FF3 "俳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally classified under the radical for "person" or "human" (亻) and is primarily known for its use in the word "haiku" (俳句), a form of short Japanese poetry. However, its core meaning in classical Chinese relates to a performer, actor, or entertainer, often referring specifically to comic performers or jesters in ancient courts. This semantic range extends to concepts of jesting, playfulness, and theatricality. In modern usage, the character is also found in the Japanese term "haigū" (配偶者) meaning "spouse" and appears in compound words related to performance and comedy, reflecting its historical association with the role of entertaining audiences.
