Unicode Version 17.0

強

U+5F37 "強" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) logogram that primarily means "strong," "powerful," or "forceful" in both classical and modern East Asian languages. Composed of the radical 弓 (bow) combined with 虽 (though), its traditional form 強 is used in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean Hanja, where it appears in words related to strength, intensity, or compulsion. In Japanese, it is a key character in the common kanji 強 (kyō), appearing in terms like 強い (tsuyoi, meaning strong) and 勉強 (benkyō, meaning study or effort). The glyph carries cultural and philosophical connotations of resilience and energy, often used in idioms and compound words across all three linguistic traditions.
