Unicode Version 17.0
壬
U+58EC "壬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as the ninth of the ten Heavenly Stems, an ancient Chinese cyclical system used for numbering days, months, years, and directions, where it is associated with the element of water and the concept of north. In modern Chinese, it also carries meanings related to the idea of "great" or "big," and it serves as a component in forming other characters, often appearing in people's names and traditional calendrical contexts. This ideograph has historical roots in oracle bone script, where it originally depicted a spinning spindle or a tool, reflecting its ancient significance in early Chinese writing.
