U+597D "好" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
好
U+597D "好" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a widely used Chinese character that means "good," "well," "fine," or "to like." It is composed of two radicals: the left side represents "woman" (女, nǚ) and the right side represents "child" (子, zǐ), symbolizing the idea that a woman with a child is considered good or harmonious in traditional Chinese culture. This character appears frequently in everyday language, including common greetings like "你好" (nǐ hǎo, meaning "hello") and expressions of approval or quality. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is encoded in Unicode to represent the same character across multiple East Asian writing systems, preserving its meaning and visual form in digital text.
