U+5FDC "応" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
応
U+5FDC "応" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in the traditional writing systems of East Asia, most commonly in Japanese as a simplified variant of the character 應. It carries meanings related to response, correspondence, or suitability, such as in the word 応答 (ōtō), meaning "reply" or "answer," and 応用 (ōyō), meaning "application." The character is composed of the radical 心 (heart) and the phonetic component 英, though its stroke count and structure differ slightly from the more complex 應 found in Traditional Chinese. In modern usage, 応 is prevalent in Japanese kanji and appears in contexts ranging from everyday vocabulary to technical terms in fields like engineering and calligraphy.
