U+55AA "喪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+55AA "喪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "mourning" or "funeral," and it is used across multiple East Asian writing systems including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In classical and modern contexts, it denotes the loss of a person through death, as well as the associated rituals, grief, and the state of bereavement. The character is composed of two main components: the upper part suggesting a weeping or wailing mouth, and the lower part relating to a garment or cloth, symbolizing the wearing of mourning attire. It frequently appears in compound words like "喪失" (sōshitsu in Japanese, sàngshī in Chinese), meaning "loss" or "deprivation," and it carries a strong cultural weight in Confucian traditions of filial piety where elaborate mourning rites are observed.
