U+5F40 "彀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
彀
U+5F40 "彀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "drawing a bow to the full" or "enough" in classical and modern contexts. This ideograph combines the radical "弓" (gōng, meaning bow) with the phonetic component "㲃" and is traditionally used in compound words like "彀中" (gòu zhōng), which refers to the range of an arrow shot or a metaphor for a trap or within one's grasp. In historical texts, the character also appears in terms related to archery and figurative expressions of sufficiency or reaching a limit, though its usage is less common in contemporary simplified Chinese.
