吕
U+5415 "吕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a surname and also denotes the concept of a musical note or pitch, historically functioning as an alternative form of the more common character "呂". In modern usage, it is primarily encountered as a family name in Chinese-speaking regions, and its structure consists of two "口" (mouth) radicals stacked vertically, symbolizing connection or sequence. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block and is standardized for digital text representation across various languages, though it is less frequently used than its variant "呂" in traditional Chinese contexts.
