U+5141 "允" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5141 "允" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "allow," "permit," "fair," or "sincere," and it is a common component in both classical and modern East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In its structure, the character combines the radical "儿" (legs or human) with the phonetic element "㕣," though its traditional interpretation often emphasizes a sense of balance or agreement. It appears in words such as "允许" (to permit) in Chinese and "許可" (kyoka, meaning "permission") in Japanese, where it is used in the same kanji form. Historically, the character dates back to ancient Chinese bronzeware and seal script, where it was associated with concepts of trustworthiness and impartiality. Overall, U+5141 represents a core concept of consent and fairness across multiple cultures that use Chinese characters.
