Unicode Version 17.0
應
U+61C9 "應" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that corresponds to the simplified form "应" and is widely used in East Asian languages including Japanese and Korean. Its core meanings encompass "should," "ought to," "to respond," or "to answer," often conveying a sense of obligation, expectation, or appropriate action. In classical and modern contexts, it appears in compound words related to reaction, suitability, or compliance, such as in the Chinese phrase "反應" (response or reaction) and the Japanese term "応答" (reply). The character is composed of the radical 心 (heart) and the phonetic component 雁, reflecting a historical link between inner intention and outward reply.
