U+5BC2 "寂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

寂

U+5BC2 "寂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese character that primarily conveys the concept of quietness, loneliness, or stillness, often with a poetic or melancholic nuance. Its radical is 宀 (roof) combined with 叔 (uncle or younger relative), though the overall meaning relates more broadly to solitude and tranquility. In classical Chinese texts and Japanese waka poetry, the character appears in words like "seijaku" (静寂) meaning stillness, or "sabishii" (寂しい) meaning lonely. It also holds cultural significance in Zen Buddhism, where it evokes a sense of serene emptiness or mindful quietude. As an ideograph, it is used in both traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese kanji, representing a core emotional state found in art and literature across East Asia.
