U+5F69 "彩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

彩

U+5F69 "彩" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character that primarily means "color," "variety," or "brilliance," and it is composed of the radical for "hair" or "bristle" combined with a phonetic component suggesting "to pluck" or "to gather." This ideograph is widely used in East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, often appearing in words related to colorful phenomena such as "rainbow" (彩虹) or "splendor" (精彩), and it conveys a sense of richness or vibrancy in visual or metaphorical contexts. Its historical roots trace back to ancient seal script, where it originally depicted patterns or decorative markings, evolving over time to represent aesthetic and festive qualities. As a common logogram in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set, it remains a fundamental element in written communication across these cultures.
