U+5373 "即" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
即
U+5373 "即" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "namely," "promptly," or "to approach," and is commonly used in both classical and modern East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It consists of a left component that originally depicted a kneeling figure and a right component representing a food vessel, symbolically conveying the idea of someone approaching a meal or getting close to something. In practical usage, it appears in compound words such as "立即" meaning "immediately" and "即使" meaning "even if," and it carries a nuanced sense of immediacy or identification in formal and informal texts.
