U+6700 "最" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
最
U+6700 "最" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that fundamentally means "most" or "extremely," often used to indicate the superlative degree in East Asian languages like Chinese and Japanese. It is composed of the radical "曰" (sun or speech) and the component "取" (to take), and its historical etymology reflects the concept of taking something to its highest extent. In modern usage, it appears in common words such as "最后" meaning final, "最近" for recent, and "最大" for biggest, making it an essential character for expressing extremes in both written and spoken contexts.
