U+5C14 "尔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

尔

U+5C14 "尔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a pronoun meaning "you" or "your" in classical and literary contexts, often conveying a sense of familiarity or intimacy, akin to "thou" in English. It also appears as a simplified form of the traditional character "爾" in Modern Standard Chinese, where it is used in various compound words and phrases, such as "尔后" meaning "thereafter" or "henceforth." Graphically, the character is composed of a small top element above a "small" or "little" radical, and it is classified under the Kangxi radical of "小" (small) with an additional stroke. Historically, "尔" has roots in ancient Chinese inscriptions and remains a common component in both written and formal language, though in modern spoken Chinese it is less frequent than its synonym "你."
