U+5B5F "孟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5B5F "孟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of "first," "eldest," or "initial," often used in reference to the eldest child in a family, particularly in names and classical texts. It is also a common Chinese surname and appears in historical terms like "Mencius" (Mengzi), the famous Confucian philosopher. The character is composed of the radical for "child" (子) beneath a modified form of "dish" or "vessel" (皿), which together convey the idea of the firstborn or the beginning of a sequence. In traditional Chinese culture, "孟" is associated with the first month of each season, such as "孟春" for early spring, and is frequently used in literary and formal contexts to denote primacy or seniority.
