U+5C81 "岁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
岁
U+5C81 "岁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional and simplified Chinese character that primarily conveys the concept of "year" or "age," often used in counting years of age, marking the passage of time, or referring to a calendar year. It is composed of the radical "山" (mountain) on top and "夕" (evening, but here acting as a phonetic component) below, though its structure and etymology also connect to the idea of a celestial year or the cyclical nature of seasons. This character appears frequently in everyday language, such as in phrases like "几岁" (how old) or "一岁" (one year old), and in cultural contexts like the Chinese New Year celebration known as "过年" (guò nián) where it marks the transition into a new year.
