Unicode Version 17.0
倍
U+500D "倍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "times" or "multiple" in a numerical context, indicating multiplication or a doubled amount, and it is also used in compounds to convey ideas of being twice as much or to augment something. In Japanese, this character is pronounced "bai" and appears in terms like "倍増" (baizō) meaning "doubling" or "increase," while in Korean it is pronounced "배" (bae) and is used similarly in mathematical and everyday expressions. Additionally, it can carry a secondary meaning of "to add to" or "to increase" in a general sense, making it a versatile component in East Asian languages where it functions within the shared CJK character set for literary and practical communication.
