叔
U+53D4 "叔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "uncle," specifically referring to a father's younger brother, though it can also denote a general term for an older male relative or a respectful address for an older man. In classical and modern usage, it appears in words such as "叔叔" for uncle and "叔本" in reference to an uncle's lineage. The character is composed of the radical "又" (hand) and the phonetic component "尗" (shú), reflecting its historical development in the Chinese writing system. It is used across various East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, where it similarly denotes familial relationships or order of birth.
