U+5375 "卵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
卵
U+5375 "卵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing that represents the concept of an egg, including the eggs of birds, fish, and reptiles, as well as roe or spawn. It is composed of the radical for "claw" visually encapsulating a shape reminiscent of two eggs or ova and is an essential character in words such as "卵子" (ovum) and "産卵" (spawning or egg laying). In cultural contexts, it appears in idioms like "卵が先か, 鶏が先か" (which came first, the egg or the chicken) and is also a common element in biological and culinary terminology across East Asian languages.
