U+5937 "夷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
夷
U+5937 "夷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with a rich historical and cultural significance, originally depicting a person carrying a bow and often associated with the concept of "barbarian" or "foreigner" in ancient Chinese texts, specifically referring to non-Han ethnic groups to the east of the central plains. Over time, its meaning expanded to include ideas of peace, leveling, and extermination, as seen in classical phrases like "夷平" meaning to raze or flatten. In modern usage, it retains these diverse connotations while also appearing in place names and historical references, reflecting its evolution from a simple pictogram to a multivalent ideograph within the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
