U+573A "场" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+573A "场" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "field," "place," "site," or "arena," and is used in various contexts such as a sports field, a threshing ground, or an event venue. In modern Mandarin, it is pronounced as chǎng in most cases, though it has a second reading of cháng when referring to certain rural or open spaces like a threshing floor. This character appears frequently in compound words like 广场 (guǎngchǎng, meaning square or plaza) and 商场 (shāngchǎng, meaning shopping mall or marketplace), illustrating its versatility in denoting both physical locations and abstract settings. Its structure combines the earth radical 土 (tu) on the left, indicating ground or land, with the phonetic component 昜 (yang) on the right, which hints at the character's historical pronunciation and meaning connected to open spaces.
