U+51F6 "凶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

凶

U+51F6 "凶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with the primary meaning of "ominous," "ferocious," or "inauspicious," and it also conveys the sense of a disaster, evil, or villainy. In its structure, the character encloses the radical for "box" or "container" around a cross or "X" shape, which historically represented a pit or a trap, symbolizing danger or ill fortune. This ideograph is commonly used in compound words such as 凶器 (xiōngqì, meaning "lethal weapon") and 凶手 (xiōngshǒu, meaning "murderer"), and it contrasts with the character 吉 (jí) which means "good luck" or "auspicious." Under the Unicode standard, it falls within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, encoding a logogram that is essential for writing in these languages, particularly in contexts involving morality, violence, or warnings.
