U+5AE1 "嫡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嫡
U+5AE1 "嫡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily denotes the concept of legitimacy, particularly in the context of family lineage and inheritance. It refers to the eldest son born to the legal wife, as opposed to children of concubines, and by extension conveys ideas of direct descent, orthodoxy, and official or primary status. In classical texts and modern usage, it appears in words like "嫡子" (legitimate child) or "嫡出" (legitimate birth), and carries strong cultural and historical connotations related to traditional patriarchal family structures and legal inheritance systems in East Asia.
