U+5919 "夙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5919 "夙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "early morning," "longstanding," or "previously held," often used in classical and literary contexts to convey a sense of something done from an early time or with long established intent. It is composed of the radical for "evening" or "sunset" (夕) and a phonetic component, though its semantic range has shifted to emphasize dawn or longstanding habits, such as in the term "夙夜" (su ye), meaning "morning and night" or "day and night." This character appears in historical texts like the Shijing (Book of Songs) and continues to be used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in formal or poetic expressions, reflecting cultural values of diligence, constancy, and respect for tradition.
