U+540F "吏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
吏
U+540F "吏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically refers to a government official or clerk, particularly one in a subordinate or administrative role within the imperial bureaucracy. It is composed of the radical for "one" or "unity" combined with a component meaning "to handle" or "to manage," reflecting its association with the execution of official duties and record-keeping. In classical texts, such as the "Shuowen Jiezi," it is defined as a person who serves in an official capacity, often involved in legal or fiscal matters, and it remains in modern usage in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems to denote civil service or administrative personnel.
