U+51E6 "処" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

処

U+51E6 "処" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, where it primarily conveys the meanings of "to deal with," "to manage," "to punish," or "a place" or "location." It represents a simplified or alternative form of the character 處, with its glyph composed of radical components such as 夂 (meaning "go" or "action") and 几 (a small table or stand), reflecting its semantic associations with handling affairs or designating a spot. In modern usage, it appears frequently in Japanese, for instance in words like 処理 (shori, meaning "processing" or "handling") and 処分 (shobun, meaning "disposal" or "punishment"), while in Chinese it is less common in simplified script, where the variant 处 is typically preferred.
