U+5BC4 "寄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
寄
U+5BC4 "寄" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "to send," "to entrust," "to depend on," or "to lodge," and it is commonly used in both classical and modern East Asian languages including Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. Its structure combines the radical for "roof" or "house" with components suggesting "strange" or "odd," reflecting its historical sense of lodging or placing something in a temporary or entrusted location. In everyday usage, it appears in words like "寄信" (to send a letter) and "寄宿" (to board or lodge), and it carries a broader metaphorical sense of reliance or delegation in contexts such as "寄託" (to entrust) or "寄望" (to pin hopes on).
