U+5047 "假" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5047 "假" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "false," "fake," "falsehood," or "to borrow," depending on context. In modern Mandarin, it is commonly used in words like "假裝" (to pretend) and "假期" (vacation or holiday), where its pronunciation shifts between jiǎ for the false sense and jià for the leave sense. Historically, the character evolved from earlier scripts and reflects semantic components related to human action and the concept of borrowing or substitution. It is a frequent character in both literary and everyday Chinese writing, appearing in compound forms that denote deceit, provisional arrangements, or time off, and is also used in Japanese and Korean hanja with similar meanings.
