U+6630 "昰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

昰

U+6630 "昰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used as a variant form of the character 是 (shì), meaning "to be," "correct," or "this," and in some contexts it appears in classical texts or personal names as an alternative orthography. Its structure combines the sun radical 日 (ri) with the character 正 (zhèng), which means "correct" or "upright," reinforcing a semantic association with brightness or truth. In modern usage, it is less common than its standard counterpart but is recognized in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, where it retains historical and calligraphic significance. This character is often found in ancient literature or as a surname in Chinese cultural contexts, embodying a link between linguistic heritage and written tradition.
