U+65E2 "既" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
既
U+65E2 "既" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily functions as an adverb meaning "already" or "since," and it is also used in compound words to indicate completion, such as in "既然" (jìrán, meaning "since" or "now that"). This ideograph originates from ancient Chinese script, where its composition visually represents a person kneeling beside a food vessel, symbolizing the concept of having finished a meal and thus conveying the idea of completion or past time. In modern usage, "既" appears frequently in both written and formal spoken Chinese, often within phrases that express logical progression or temporal sequence.
