U+5FA0 "徠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
徠
U+5FA0 "徠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that functions as a variant of the more common character "來" (lái), meaning "to come" or "to arrive." It is often used in classical or literary contexts, as well as in Japanese kanji where it retains a similar meaning, sometimes carrying the additional connotation of "to invite" or "to bring about." The character is composed of the radical "彳" (chi, meaning "step" or "movement") on the left, indicating action or motion, and a phonetic component on the right. In modern usage, "徠" is less common in simplified Chinese but still appears in historical texts, personal names, and certain compound words, preserving its connection to notions of coming or summoning.
