U+5408 "合" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

合

U+5408 "合" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a common logogram in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts, where it generally conveys the meanings of "to close," "to join," "to unite," or "to be appropriate." In Chinese, it is a fundamental character used in words like 合作 (hézuò, meaning cooperation) and 合适 (héshì, meaning suitable), and it frequently appears in compounds expressing combination, agreement, or conformity. Its structure combines the radical 口 (mouth) with a phonetic component, reflecting its original pictographic sense of a lid fitting onto a container. Across different East Asian languages, "合" maintains a consistent core semantics of bringing parts together, making it a versatile and essential character in written communication.
