U+5021 "倡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

倡

U+5021 "倡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to initiate," "to advocate," or "to lead," and it is also used as a noun meaning "leader" or "performer" in classical contexts. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encodes common logographic characters from these East Asian writing systems. The character is composed of the radical "亻" representing a person, combined with "昌" which contributes phonetic and semantic elements related to prosperity or brightness. Historically, "倡" appears in ancient texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" and is frequently employed in modern Chinese in compound words like "提倡" meaning "to promote" or "to encourage." Understanding this character provides insight into how Chinese script evolves through the combination of semantic and phonetic components to convey nuanced social and cultural concepts.
