U+59D4 "委" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
委
U+59D4 "委" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to entrust," "to depute," "to appoint," or "a committee," and it frequently appears in compound words like "委员会" (committee) or "委托" (to entrust). Structurally, the character is composed of two parts: the top radical "禾" (grain), which combines with the bottom component "女" (woman), and its historical etymology traces back to a depiction of a woman bending over grain, suggesting meanings of yielding, delegating, or gathering. This character is widely used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it serves as a common element in formal and administrative contexts.
