U+591A "多" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
多
U+591A "多" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "many," "much," or "multiple," and is commonly used in both modern and classical Chinese texts. Its structure combines the radical for "evening" or "sunset" above the character for "another," suggesting the concept of accumulation or repetition over time. This ideograph appears in a wide range of everyday words and compounds, such as "duōshǎo" for "how many" or "duōyàng" for "diverse." Historically, it has also been used in East Asian scripts including Japanese and Korean, where it retains similar meanings related to abundance or multiplicity.
