U+54AB "咫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
咫
U+54AB "咫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically represents a unit of length, specifically an ancient measure equivalent to about eight Chinese inches or roughly 26.3 centimeters, and it is also used more broadly to denote something that is short or near, as in the idiom "咫尺" meaning very close in distance or time. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "mouth" or "enclosure" and a phonetic component, and it appears in classical texts and modern Chinese writing, particularly in formal or literary contexts to convey proximity or a small measure.
