U+5361 "卡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
卡
U+5361 "卡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a noun meaning "card" or "block," and as a verb meaning "to block" or "to clamp." It is composed of the radical for "upper" or "up" above the radical for "lower" or "down," visually suggesting an obstruction or something that gets stuck between two positions. Commonly used in modern Chinese, it appears in vocabulary such as "卡片" for "ID card" or "credit card," and "卡车" for "truck," as well as in technical contexts like "打卡" meaning "to punch a time card." The character also carries the sound "ka" in Mandarin, reflecting its borrowed use from English for "card."
