U+679A "枚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
枚
U+679A "枚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a quantifier or measure word in East Asian languages, especially in Mandarin and Japanese. It is commonly used to count flat, thin, or small objects such as coins, stamps, leaves, or badges, similar to how "sheet" or "piece" is used in English. Additionally, "枚" can appear in compound words like "枚举" (enumerate) and carries historical connotations in classical texts, where it sometimes refers to a stalk or stem. Its structure combines the radical for "tree" or "wood" on the left with a phonetic component suggesting pronunciation, reflecting its origins in the logographic writing system.
