U+672B "末" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

末

U+672B "末" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "end," "tip," or "final," often contrasting with its counterpart "本" (root or origin). It is composed of a horizontal line over a simplified tree radical, visually suggesting the topmost branch of a tree, which metaphorically extends to concepts like last in sequence, conclusion, or trivial matters. In classical and modern Chinese usage, this character appears in words such as "末班车" meaning last bus, "末日" doomsday, and "末尾" end or tail, and it also carries philosophical weight in contexts like "本末倒置" meaning putting the cart before the horse. As one of the Kangxi radicals (75th radical), it serves as a foundational element in the structure of other characters within the CJK unified ideographs block.
