和

U+548C "和" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental ideograph in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems that primarily conveys the concepts of harmony, peace, and togetherness.

In Japanese, it is read as "wa" or "ka" and is a key component of the term "大和" (Yamato), the ancient name for Japan, symbolizing cultural unity.
