U+5018 "倘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
倘
U+5018 "倘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a conjunction or adverb in classical and modern Chinese, often meaning "if," "supposing," or "perhaps," as in the phrase "倘若" (tǎngruò) meaning "if" or "provided that." It can also convey a sense of "unexpectedly" or "by chance" in certain literary contexts. Structurally, the character combines the radical for "person" or "human" (亻) on the left, indicating its connection to human actions or states, with the phonetic component "尚" (shàng) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In addition to its use in written Chinese, "倘" appears in Classical Chinese texts and modern formal writing, though it is less common in everyday spoken language.
