U+608C "悌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+608C "悌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the Confucian virtue of fraternal duty, specifically the respect and love that a younger sibling should show toward an older brother. In classical Chinese philosophy, this concept is often paired with "孝" (filial piety), as both are fundamental to maintaining harmony within the family and, by extension, social order. The character is composed of the radical "忄" (heart) on the left, indicating emotional or moral concern, and the phonetic component "弟" (younger brother) on the right, which also contributes to its meaning. Today, "悌" is still used in formal or literary contexts, particularly in discussions of traditional ethics and moral education in East Asian cultures.
