U+68B5 "梵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
梵
U+68B5 "梵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it primarily denotes concepts related to Buddhism and Sanskrit. Its core meaning encompasses "Buddhist," "Sanskrit," or "pure," and it is notably found in terms such as "梵語" (Sanskrit language) and "梵天" (Brahma, the Hindu god of creation, often adopted in Buddhist cosmology). The character's etymology traces to a pictographic combination of "forest" (林) and "wind" (凡), originally suggesting a sense of sacred or profound natural stillness, which later evolved to signify the spiritual and linguistic traditions of Indian origin.
