U+5947 "奇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
奇
U+5947 "奇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that conveys the meanings of "strange," "unusual," "odd," or "wonderful," and it is composed of the radical "大" (big) over a phonetic component "可" (permission), though the combination historically suggests something extraordinary or irregular. This character is used across multiple East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese (where it can be read as "ki" or "mezu" in compounds), and Korean (pronounced "gi"), often appearing in words like "奇跡" (miracle), "奇妙" (fantastic), and "奇数" (odd number), reflecting its core connotation of deviation from the norm or remarkable uniqueness.
