U+5BA1 "审" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
审
U+5BA1 "审" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to examine," "to investigate," "to judge," or "to review," and it is commonly used in formal and legal contexts such as 审判 (shěnpàn, meaning "trial" or "judgment") and 审查 (shěnchá, meaning "to inspect" or "to audit"). It is composed of a radical related to a roof or covering (宀, mián) over the component 申 (shēn), which can suggest the concept of extending or laying out for careful scrutiny. In modern Standard Mandarin, it is pronounced as shěn in the third tone and appears frequently in administrative, judicial, and evaluative language across Chinese-speaking regions.
