U+5E7C "幼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

幼

U+5E7C "幼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "young" or "infant," conveying the concept of youth, childhood, or immaturity. Composed of the radical 幺 (meaning "tiny" or "silk") on the left and 力 (meaning "strength" or "power") on the right, its structure visually suggests a combination of smallness and effort, often interpreted as the limited strength of a child. This character appears frequently in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it is used in words related to childhood education (like 幼稚, meaning "childish" or "kindergarten") and young animals or plants. Its cultural significance extends to philosophical and literary contexts, reflecting traditional values of growth and the protective care needed for the young.
