Unicode Version 17.0
奎
U+594E "奎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "stride" or "step" and is also used as a surname, but its most traditional and astronomical significance refers to the "Kui" constellation, a component of the Chinese lunar mansions system representing the legs or stride of the legendary Dipper or Bear. In classical texts, this character often denotes a star name associated with the Big Dipper, and it appears in the term "奎章" to refer to imperial writings or scholarly works. Notably, 奎 is also the first character in the name of the intellectual property symbol Kui Hua or "sunflower" in Chinese, and it retains a culturally rich presence in East Asian nomenclature and astrology.
