U+6708 "月" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+6708 "月" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used across multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, where it primarily represents the moon or a month. In its standard form, it depicts the pictorial essence of a crescent moon, though its ancient oracle bone script origins show a more literal crescent shape. As a radical, it appears in numerous compound characters, often contributing meanings related to time, celestial bodies, or body parts derived from its alternate meaning of "flesh" or "meat" (a separate radical visually identical in modern typefaces). This character is a fundamental component of daily vocabulary, such as in the Chinese word for "moon" itself and in words for "January" or "Monday" in various East Asian languages.
