U+6837 "样" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

样

U+6837 "样" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "appearance," "shape," "form," "sample," or "pattern," and it is used extensively in modern Mandarin Chinese. It functions as a versatile component in compound words such as "样子" (yàngzi) meaning "look" or "manner," "样品" (yàngpǐn) meaning "sample product," and "同样" (tóngyàng) meaning "same" or "alike." In traditional Chinese, this character was written as "樣" (U+6A23) before simplification, derived from the radical for tree or wood and a phonetic component, reflecting its historical evolution in the writing system. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, U+6837 is encoded for use in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where it maintains similar but contextually varied meanings, such as "style" in Japanese or "shape" in Korean.
