Unicode Version 17.0
币
U+5E01 "币" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "coin," "currency," or "money," and it is commonly used in modern Chinese as a simplified form of the traditional character "幣." It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, and its structure combines the radical for "cloth" or "silk" (巾) with a phonetic component, reflecting its historical association with trade goods. In contemporary usage, "币" appears in words like "人民币" (Renminbi, the official currency of China) and "硬币" (coin), and it is also recognized in Japanese kanji and Korean Hanja, albeit often with variant meanings or frequency.
