U+5162 "兢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5162 "兢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to be cautious," "careful," or "to fear," and it is often used in the formal term "战战兢兢" (zhàn zhàn jīng jīng), which describes a state of trembling fear or extreme wariness. This ideograph is composed of two "兄" (older brother) radicals stacked vertically over "辛" (bitter/spicy), though its etymological composition is more complex and has been interpreted as depicting caution or respectful anxiety. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block and is used across traditional and simplified Chinese scripts, as well as in Japanese Kanji (where it retains similar meanings) and Korean Hanja. The character carries a formal, literary tone and appears in classical texts, idioms, and modern writing to emphasize prudence or nervous vigilance.
