U+5BFB "寻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
寻
U+5BFB "寻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to seek," "to search for," or "to look for." It is composed of the radical "寸" (cun, meaning "thumb" or "measure") and the component "彐" (a stylized hand or pig's head, though its exact origin is debated), and in its traditional form it can also be written as "尋." This character is commonly used in modern Chinese vocabulary, such as in "寻找" (xúnzhǎo, meaning "to look for") and "寻求" (xúnqiú, meaning "to seek out" or "to pursue"). Its usage extends beyond literal searching to include abstract pursuits, like seeking knowledge or justice, and it also appears in Classical Chinese texts as well as in Japanese and Korean borrowed vocabulary.
