U+6865 "桥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
桥
U+6865 "桥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a bridge, commonly used in both modern and classical writing across East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its structure combines the "wood" radical, indicating a material traditionally used in construction, with a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation, which is *qiáo* in Mandarin Chinese. This ideograph is often found in words related to physical structures like bridges, such as "桥梁" meaning bridge, as well as in metaphorical contexts, such as "交流桥" suggesting a conduit for communication or connection between people or ideas.
