U+5C1A "尚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

尚

U+5C1A "尚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with a rich historical and linguistic background, primarily meaning "still," "yet," "to esteem," or "to value," and it often conveys notions of something being elevated or upheld. In ancient texts, it appears in contexts such as philosophy and governance, notably in the Tao Te Ching, where it can signify the act of valuing virtues or principles. The character's composition combines the radical 小 (small) with a variant of 同 (same or together), hinting at its semantic roots in shared or maintained standards. In modern usage, "尚" is common in compound words like 时尚 (fashion, literally "trend of the times") and 高尚 (noble or lofty), and it also functions as a surname. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character is shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, reflecting its enduring role in East Asian written culture.
