U+6590 "斐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
斐
U+6590 "斐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means elegant, patterned, or splendid, often used in compounds like "斐然" (feiran) to describe outstanding literary talent or remarkable achievements. Its structure combines the radical 文 (wen, meaning writing or culture) with 非 (fei, meaning not or wrong), though the phonetic component 非 contributes to its pronunciation. Historically, the character appears in classical Chinese texts such as the Analects of Confucius, where it conveys a sense of refined beauty or brilliance. In modern usage, it is frequently found in personal names, academic honors, and the term "斐济" (Feiji), the Chinese name for the island nation of Fiji.
