U+5DF1 "己" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

己

U+5DF1 "己" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Chinese character meaning "self" or "oneself," and it appears as the sixth of the twelve Earthly Branches in the traditional Chinese cycle, representing the number six and associated with the element Earth. In classical Chinese philosophy, it forms part of key concepts like "克己" (self-restraint) and "己所不欲，勿施于人" (do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself), and it is also used in contemporary contexts to refer to personal identity or the pronoun "oneself." Visually, the character is composed of three strokes, with a distinctive shape that curves inward, and its Unicode designation ensures consistent encoding across digital systems for text processing in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
