U+65E9 "早" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it is commonly pronounced as "zǎo" in Mandarin, "sō" or "haya" in Japanese, and "jo" in Korean. Its fundamental meaning is "early" or "morning," derived from its visual composition of the sun above a sprouting plant or a line representing the horizon, symbolizing the dawn.
