U+5449 "呉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
呉
U+5449 "呉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a variant form of the more common character 吳 or 吴, which means a surname, an ancient state during the Zhou dynasty, or the geographical region of Wu in present-day Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It is also used in Japanese as 呉, where it refers to the city of Kure in Hiroshima Prefecture, as well as the historical Wu kingdom. The character is composed of the radicals for mouth (口) and a modified form of sky (天), carrying the sense of a loud or proclaiming sound in its classical etymology, though modern usage leans heavily on its role as a proper noun.
