U+5C01 "封" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

封

U+5C01 "封" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to seal," "to close," or "to confer a title upon," with its origins tracing back to ancient practices of placing a mound of earth as a boundary marker, which evolved to represent the act of sealing a letter or bestowing an official designation. In modern usage, it appears frequently in words and phrases related to sealing envelopes, capping containers, or granting honors, and it is commonly encountered in both simplified and traditional Chinese writing systems across East Asian languages. The character has a rich historical significance, often associated with feudal titles and territorial boundaries in classical texts, making it a versatile glyph deeply embedded in cultural and linguistic contexts.
