U+501F "借" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
借
U+501F "借" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to borrow," "to lend," or "to make use of," and it is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This ideograph is composed of the radical "亻" (person) on the left, indicating human action, and the phonetic component "昔" (meaning "former" or "past") on the right, which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin as "jiè." In practical usage, "借" appears in everyday contexts like "借书" (borrow a book) or "借钱" (borrow or lend money), and it also carries extended meanings such as "to take advantage of" or "to rely on" in expressions like "借助" (with the help of).
