U+5E7E "幾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
幾
U+5E7E "幾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "how many," "a few," or "several," often used to indicate an indefinite small number or to ask about quantity and magnitude. In its classical usage, it also carries a more nuanced sense of "almost" or "nearly" when employed in certain literary contexts, as seen in compounds like 幾乎 (jīhū), meaning "almost." The character is structurally composed of the "幺" (silk) component atop "戍" (guard), but its simplified counterpart "几" is now standard in mainland China, while "幾" remains in use in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
