U+5E1D "帝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

帝

U+5E1D "帝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a highly significant Chinese character that traditionally means "emperor," "sovereign," or "god," and it carries a profound cultural and historical weight across East Asia. This ideograph is composed of three key components: the top element often represents "a crown" or "adornment," the middle suggests "a sash" or "belt," and the bottom depicts "a textile or flag," together symbolizing the supreme authority and divine mandate of a ruler. In classical Chinese texts, "帝" is used to refer to legendary emperors like the Yellow Emperor (黄帝) and the Jade Emperor (玉帝) in Taoist cosmology, as well as to denote imperial power in dynastic history. Its usage extends beyond China into Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, where it appears in historical titles, religious contexts, and modern borrowings, making it a cornerstone of the shared Chinese character heritage.
