U+5560 "啠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

啠

U+5560 "啠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is considered a variant form of the more common character "哲" (zhé), which conveys meanings related to wisdom, philosophy, and clear understanding. Found in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character is used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in traditional Chinese texts, where it may appear in historical or literary contexts as an alternative representation of the same concept. Its structure combines the phonetic component "折" (zhé, meaning to break or bend) with the semantic radical "口" (kǒu, meaning mouth), suggesting an interplay between speech and discernment.
