U+53BF "县" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
县
U+53BF "县" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "county" or "district," serving as a fundamental administrative division in China and historically in other East Asian regions. It is a simplified form of the traditional character 縣, with its structure originating from ancient scripts where it depicted a suspended head, symbolizing the concept of a dependent or subordinate territory. In modern usage, it appears frequently in geographical names, official titles, and contexts related to local governance, and it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode Standard to facilitate digital text representation across languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
