壯
U+58EF "壯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally conveys meanings of strength, robustness, and vigor, often used in contexts describing a healthy adult male or the prime of one's life. Its composition combines the radical for "scholar" or "person" with a phonetic component, and in modern usage it appears in words like "壯大" (to strengthen or grow) and in common given names. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, encoding a logogram that is shared across multiple East Asian writing systems, though its pronunciation and specific nuances may vary slightly between languages such as Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese.
