U+570B "國" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
國
U+570B "國" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that denotes a country, nation, or state, and it is commonly used in traditional Chinese writing, Japanese kanji, and Korean hanja. Its structure consists of an outer enclosure (like a square or border) surrounding the element "或" (huò), which originally represented a territorial boundary or domain. Over centuries, this character has been central to political and cultural identity in East Asia, appearing in terms like "中國" (China, literally "central country") and "国家" (country). In modern simplified Chinese, it is replaced by the variant "国", though "國" remains prevalent in traditional orthography and historical texts.
