U+51AA "冪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
冪
U+51AA "冪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "power" or "exponent" in mathematical contexts, such as in the term "冪乘" meaning exponentiation. It also carries the sense of "cover" or "veil" in classical usage, relating to cloth or a covering that conceals something. This character is composed of the radical "巾" (cloth, turban, or towel) on the left, and the phonetic component "靡" on the right, reflecting its historical etymology where it denoted a cloth used for covering. In modern Chinese, it is less common in everyday language but remains important in academic and technical fields, particularly mathematics.
