U+50D5 "僕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
僕
U+50D5 "僕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji that originates from Chinese and is commonly used in Japanese and Korean, where it primarily carries the meanings of "servant," "manservant," or "I" in a humble or masculine first-person context. In Japanese, it is frequently employed by men for self-reference in informal speech, while its classical roots in Chinese also convey subservience or the role of an attendant. The character is composed of the radical for "person" (人) and the phonetic component "仆," reflecting both its semantic and phonological origins in the CJK script system.
