U+52E4 "勤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

勤

U+52E4 "勤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concepts of diligence, hard work, and frequent or regular effort, often used in words like "勤奋" (diligent) and "勤劳" (industrious). Its structure combines the radical "力" (strength or effort) with the phonetic component "堇" (meaning clay or a phonetic hint), visually representing the idea of applying sustained strength to a task. In both traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese (where it is read as "kin" or "tsutomeru") and Korean (geun), this character maintains a consistent meaning centered on conscientious perseverance. The character is also historically associated with governance in terms like "勤政" (diligent administration), reflecting its deeper cultural value of moral responsibility.
