U+5C0E "導" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
導
U+5C0E "導" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "to lead," "to guide," "to conduct," or "to direct," and it is composed of the radical 寸 (cun, meaning "thumb" or "measure") above a variant of 道 (dao, meaning "way" or "path"), visually suggesting leading along a path. This character is used in both traditional Chinese and Japanese (where it is also a Jōyō kanji) as well as in Korean hanja, often appearing in words related to guidance, navigation, instruction, or transmission, such as 指導 (zhǐdǎo, "instruction" or "guidance") and 導入 (dōnyū, "introduction" or "lead-in"). Its historical form derives from a hand (寸) directing a traveler (道), encapsulating the concept of showing the way or steering a course.
