U+500B "個" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
個
U+500B "個" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character commonly used in East Asian languages, particularly in Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it functions as a general counter for individual items, people, or objects. It is often seen in phrases like "一個" (one) in Chinese or "個人" (individual or personal) in Japanese, and it conveys the meaning of a single, separate entity or unit. Its structure combines the radical for "person" (人) with a phonetic component, reflecting its role as a classifier that specifies one of something. This character is distinct from its Simplified Chinese variant "个," though both serve the same grammatical purpose.
