U+665D "晝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
晝
U+665D "晝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of "daytime" or "daylight," as opposed to night. Composed of a sun radical above a component associated with the morning or dawn, it is used in Classical Chinese and modern contexts to denote the period from sunrise to sunset. In Japanese, it is read as "hiru" and similarly signifies noon or daytime, while in Korean, it appears in the word "낮" (nat) meaning day. This character also carries symbolic and cultural weight in East Asian traditions, often appearing in literature and calligraphy to contrast light with darkness or activity with rest.
