U+50CD "働" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

働

U+50CD "働" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character of East Asian origin, primarily used in Japanese and occasionally in Chinese, meaning "work," "labor," or "to work." It is composed of the radical 亻 (human) on the left, indicating a person, and the phonetic component 動 (dō, meaning "move" or "motion") on the right, together conveying the concept of a person engaged in physical or mental activity. In Japanese, it is a key character in words like 働く (hataraku, "to work") and 労働 (rōdō, "labor"), and it appears frequently in contexts related to employment, effort, and productivity. While it exists in Unicode as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, its usage is far more common in modern Japanese than in other languages, reflecting its cultural and linguistic significance in East Asia.
