U+6232 "戲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6232 "戲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "play," "drama," "theater," or "to have fun," and it carries a strong sense of theatrical performance or playful activity. Historically, it has been used in classical Chinese literature to denote games, jest, or stage productions, and it appears in compound words like 戲劇 (xìjù, meaning drama or theatre) and 遊戲 (yóuxì, meaning game or play). The character is composed of a radical related to "tiger" or "weapon" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its ancient origins in depicting mock combat or a performative act. In modern usage across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts, it retains this core meaning of entertainment and staged performance.
