U+52A0 "加" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+52A0 "加" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental East Asian logogram that primarily means "to add," "to increase," or "to join," and it is widely used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. This character is composed of two radicals: the left component 力 (power or effort) and the right component 口 (mouth), which together convey the idea of adding effort or speech to a situation, though its modern usage extends to mathematics, chemical notation (such as in 加里, a transliteration of potassium), and common vocabulary like 加入 (to join) or 增加 (to increase). As a versatile and high-frequency character, "加" plays a key role in forming compound words across various contexts, including education, commerce, and daily communication, reflecting its deep integration into CJK orthography and culture.
