U+5783 "垃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
垃
U+5783 "垃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character commonly used in modern Mandarin to mean "trash" or "garbage." It appears most frequently as part of the compound word "垃圾" (lājī), which refers to refuse, waste, or rubbish. The character itself consists of the earth radical (土) on the left, suggesting something related to ground or dirt, combined with a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation. While its standalone usage is rare, it is an essential element in everyday vocabulary and official contexts such as signage, environmental messaging, and waste management in Chinese-speaking regions.
