U+5150 "児" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5150 "児" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it represents the concept of a child or infant, often carrying connotations of youth, birth, or the beginning of life. This character is a variant form of the more commonly recognized character 兒 (U+5152), with 児 being particularly prevalent in the Japanese writing system as a shinjitai simplification adopted after World War II, where it appears in words like 児童 (jidō, meaning child or juvenile) and 男の子. Its structure combines the radical for "legs" or "human legs" with additional strokes to depict a child's appearance, and its usage can also extend to proper names and literary contexts across East Asian languages, reflecting a shared cultural heritage in the region.
