U+539A "厚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

厚

U+539A "厚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concepts of thickness, depth, kindness, and generosity. In its literal sense, it describes something that is thick in dimension, such as a thick board or a heavy fabric, and it also extends metaphorically to denote substantial depth, as in "deep friendship" (厚谊) or "generous treatment" (厚待). This character is commonly used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it appears in compounds like 厚生 (hòushēng, meaning "welfare" or "enriching life") and 厚膜 (kōmaku, meaning "thick film" in Japanese). Its radical is 厂 (cliff) with 10 additional strokes, reflecting its composition as a semantic-phonetic compound that has been standardized in the Unicode standard to ensure consistent digital representation across different platforms and fonts.
