U+622F "戯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

戯

U+622F "戯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "play," "game," "sport," or "drama," and is used in East Asian languages such as Japanese and Korean as well as Chinese, where it often appears in compound words like "戯曲" (xìqǔ, meaning opera or drama) or "遊戯" (yóuxì, meaning game or play). As a simplified variant of the traditional character "戲," this glyph retains the semantic component for a weapon or halberd, reflecting its historical association with performance, mock combat, or amusement. In modern usage, it conveys notions of entertainment, jest, or theatrical performance across various contexts, from traditional Chinese opera to casual gameplay, and its structural composition is recognized within the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard.
