Unicode Version 17.0
戚
U+621A "戚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically denotes a type of battle axe or a weapon, but in modern usage it primarily conveys meanings related to familial kinship, specifically referring to relatives or one's own family, as seen in words like "亲戚" (qīnqi, meaning relatives). It also carries connotations of sorrow or grief, appearing in expressions such as "哀戚" (āiqī, meaning deep sadness or mourning) and "休戚相关" (xiūqī xiāngguān, describing shared joys and sorrows). This character is composed of the radical "戈" (spear or weapon) and the phonetic component "尗" (shú), reflecting its original martial significance while having evolved to represent emotional and relational closeness.
