U+544E "呎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
呎
U+544E "呎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a unit of length primarily used in traditional contexts, specifically meaning "foot" as a measure equivalent to about 0.3048 meters, corresponding to the English foot. It is distinct from the more common character for "foot" in Chinese, "尺", which denotes a traditional Chinese foot of varying length. The character 呎 is constructed with the semantic radical "口" (mouth) on the left and the phonetic component "尺" (chi) on the right, indicating its pronunciation as "chǐ" in Mandarin. While it was historically used in translation and technical documents, its modern usage is rare, often appearing in specialized or historical references to imperial measurements.
