U+582F "堯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
堯
U+582F "堯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically meant "high" or "lofty" and is most famously known as the personal name of the legendary sage Emperor Yao, a virtuous ruler in ancient Chinese mythology. This ideograph is composed of three "earth" or "soil" components stacked above a figure, visually suggesting elevation or a mound. In modern usage, it appears in classical texts, historical names, and compounds such as "堯舜" referring to Yao and Shun, the archetypal benevolent emperors. It is distinct from its simplified counterpart "尧" used in mainland China.
