U+552E "售" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

售

U+552E "售" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to sell" or "to offer for sale," and it is also used in compound terms such as "销售" (to sell) and "售卖" (to vend) in modern Mandarin. This ideograph is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) and the phonetic component "雔," reflecting its historical construction where the mouth element suggests speech or transaction, while the phonetic part hints at pronunciation. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode standard, encoded for use in digital text across East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it retains similar commercial meanings such as "selling" or "retail." Beyond its literal sense, "售" appears in legal and business contexts, such as "出售" (to dispose of property) and "零售商" (retailer), making it a practical and frequently encountered glyph in trade-related discourse.
