U+537D "卽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
卽
U+537D "卽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "namely," "that is," "immediately," or "approach," and it is a variant form of the more common character 即 (U+5373). This ideograph is composed of a radical related to food or eating on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and it appears in classical texts and historical writings, often carrying nuanced senses of promptness or direct equivalence. In modern usage, it is largely replaced by the simplified form 即 in many contexts, but it remains important for understanding older literature and calligraphy.
