U+5E7B "幻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

幻

U+5E7B "幻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that broadly means "illusion," "phantom," "fantasy," or "magic," and it appears in various East Asian writing systems including Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its structure combines the radical for "waist" or "small thread" with elements suggesting something delicate and elusive, conveying the idea of something that seems real but is not actually tangible. This character is frequently used in compound words such as "幻想" (fantasy or hallucination), "幻影" (phantom or apparition), and "幻想曲" (fantasia in music), and it carries a poetic or mysterious tone when describing dreams, visions, or deceptive appearances. In Unicode, it is encoded under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, where it maintains consistent meaning across several languages while adapting to slight regional stylistic variations.
