U+52C9 "勉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+52C9 "勉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character primarily meaning "to strive," "to encourage," or "to exert effort," and its etymology combines the radical for "power" or "strength" with a phonetic component suggesting "avoidance" or "exemption," symbolizing the idea of pushing oneself beyond normal limits. It appears in common words like the Chinese "努力" (nǔlì, "to work hard") though "勉" itself forms "勉強" (miǎnqiǎng) meaning "to force oneself" or "to do with difficulty," and in Japanese it is central to "勉強" (benkyō), the standard term for "study" or "learning." This character thus conveys a core cultural concept of diligent perseverance across both languages, representing the human quality of striving through challenge and effort.
