U+5E2E "帮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

帮

U+5E2E "帮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to help," "to assist," or "to aid," and is also used as a noun meaning a "group," "gang," or "side" of something. It is composed of two main components: the radical 巾 (cloth or fabric) on the bottom, and the phonetic element 邦 (meaning "country" or "state") on top, though the character's meaning has shifted from its original association with the leather strips on the sides of a shoe to broader concepts of support and collective association. Commonly used in modern Mandarin, it appears in everyday words such as 帮助 (bāngzhù, meaning "help/assist") and 帮派 (bāngpài, meaning "faction/gang"), and its standard stroke count is nine, following the rules of the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
