U+5F27 "弧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
弧
U+5F27 "弧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily denotes the concept of a "bow" or "arc," as in a curved shape or trajectory. It is composed of the radical "弓" (bow) on the left, which hints at its association with archery and curvature, and the phonetic component "瓜" on the right. This character appears in words such as "弧線" (arc or curve in geometry) and "弧光" (arc light), and it is commonly used in mathematical, geometric, and technical contexts to describe a segment of a circle or a curved line. Its Unicode encoding allows for consistent digital representation across systems, preserving its meaning in East Asian writing systems.
