U+5175 "兵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
兵
U+5175 "兵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logograph that fundamentally denotes a "soldier," "warrior," or "military force," with its etymology tracing back to ancient pictographs of two hands holding a battle-axe, symbolizing a common infantryman. In modern usage, it is a high-frequency component in compound words such as "士兵" (shìbīng, soldier) and "兵器" (bīngqì, weapon), and it also appears in idioms like "兵不厌诈" (bīng bù yàn zhà, all is fair in war). Beyond its literal martial meaning, the character can represent the concept of a pawn or piece in games like chess (象棋, xiàngqí), where it denotes a foot soldier unit.
