U+5E78 "幸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
幸
U+5E78 "幸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concepts of happiness, good fortune, or luck, and it also carries the nuance of being fortunate or blessed, often used in words like 幸福 (xìngfú) meaning happiness. In its etymology, the character originally depicted a form of handcuffs or restraints, evolving from a symbol of punishment to one of mercy, such as escaping punishment being considered a stroke of luck. Beyond its positive connotations, it can also function as a verb meaning to hope or to wish, and it appears in classical and modern contexts to express relief or favor, reflecting a shift from a physical representation of constraint to an abstract notion of serendipity.
