U+52C3 "勃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
勃
U+52C3 "勃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to suddenness, vigor, or flourishing, often used in contexts such as "蓬勃" (péngbó) meaning vigorous or flourishing, or "勃起" (bóqǐ) referring to an abrupt rise or erection. Its etymology combines the radical for "strength" or "power" (力) with a phonetic component, reflecting both its semantic focus on dynamic action and its pronunciation in Mandarin as "bó." This character appears in historical and modern Chinese texts, as well as in Japanese and Korean writing systems where it retains similar connotations of suddenness or prosperity.
