U+56DD "囝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
囝
U+56DD "囝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing a child or a son, often used dialectally in Minnan (Hokkien) and other southern Chinese languages to refer affectionately to one's own child or a young boy. Its structure combines the outer radical for "enclosure" (囗) with an inner element derived from "child" (子), metaphorically depicting a child within a home or surrounded by protection. In Taiwan and Fujian, the term "囝" is also found in words like "囡仔" (gín-á) for "child" and appears in names and colloquial expressions, reflecting its cultural significance as a term of endearment and kinship connection in Sinitic languages beyond standard Mandarin.
