U+5F0B "弋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弋
U+5F0B "弋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient Chinese character that originally depicted a wooden stake or a post used for tethering animals, and by extension it came to represent the concept of "shooting" or "catching" with a bow and arrow, especially in the context of hunting. In modern usage, it often appears as a component in other more complex characters, contributing meanings related to capture, projection, or action, and it is also used as a radical in the Kangxi system of character classification under the radical number 56. The character itself is pronounced as "yì" in Mandarin and carries a strong historical and linguistic significance due to its presence in early Chinese inscriptions and classical texts.
