Unicode Version 17.0

害

U+5BB3 "害" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "harm," "damage," "disaster," or "to cause trouble," and it is composed of a roof radical over components suggesting injury or obstruction. Phonetically pronounced "hài" in Mandarin, it appears in common words such as "伤害" (shānghài, to injure) and "害怕" (hàipà, to be afraid), and it also carries historical significance in philosophical and legal texts where it denotes harmful actions or negative consequences. Its structure and usage reflect a long evolution in written Chinese, with the character being encoded in Unicode as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, facilitating consistent digital representation across East Asian languages.
