U+66F0 "曰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
曰
U+66F0 "曰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "to say" or "to speak," and its form is distinct from the similar-looking "日" (sun) due to a wider, flatter shape. Historically, it is a common component in classical Chinese texts, often introducing direct speech or quotations in literary works. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block and is used across these languages with consistent meaning. Its structure, with a wide top and bottom strokes, reflects its ancient pictographic origin as a stylized mouth emitting words.
