Unicode Version 17.0
命
U+547D "命" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Han character that primarily denotes concepts of life, fate, destiny, or command, depending on context. It is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) atop a component suggesting a kneeling figure, together conveying the idea of spoken decree or divine will. In Chinese philosophy, "命" is central to discussions of ming (fate or mandate), as in the Confucian concept of Tianming or the Mandate of Heaven, and it also appears in everyday terms like "生命" (life), "命运" (destiny), and "命令" (order or command).
