U+5FB9 "徹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5FB9 "徹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that generally means to penetrate, permeate, or pass through, often carrying connotations of thoroughness or completeness as seen in words like "徹底" meaning thorough or outright. It is also used in Japanese, where it represents the concept of penetrating or being clear, and in Korean as "철" with similar nuanced meanings related to transparency or exhaustion. This character is composed of the radical 彳 (double step signifying action) and the component 徹, contributing to its association with movement and full execution.
