U+589E "增" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+589E "增" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to increase," "to add," or "to enhance," and it appears in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese scripts as well as in Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja. Commonly used in everyday language, it forms part of words such as "增加" (zēngjiā, to increase) and "增值" (zēngzhí, to appreciate or add value). The character is composed of the radical "土" (earth) on the left, suggesting a solid foundation, and the phonetic component "曾" (zēng) on the right, which also carries the meaning of "once" or "formerly" but here contributes to the overall sound and sense of accumulation or augmentation. As a fundamental unit in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, it represents a core concept of growth and expansion across multiple East Asian languages.
