U+51E7 "凧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+51E7 "凧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a kite, specifically the traditional kite seen in East Asian cultures. In Japanese, it is known as "tako" and is commonly used to refer to kites flown during festivals such as Children's Day. The character is composed of the radical for "wind" above the radical for "cloth," which pictorially suggests a cloth object propelled by the wind, directly reflecting its meaning. While less common in modern Chinese, it retains this specific meaning in contexts involving traditional toys and cultural practices.
