U+6714 "朔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6714 "朔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally signifies the new moon, specifically the first day of the lunar month, and by extension, the concept of a beginning or origin. Its semantic range includes ideas of northward direction and the start of a cycle, often appearing in calendrical contexts and classical literature. Phonetically, it is pronounced as "shuò" in Mandarin and frequently used in compounds like "朔日" (the first day of the lunar month) or "朔风" (northern wind). The character is composed of the radical "月" (moon) and the phonetic component "屰," reflecting its celestial and temporal associations, and is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard for shared use across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
