U+68C4 "棄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
棄
U+68C4 "棄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that means "to abandon," "to discard," or "to reject." It is composed of the radical for a child under a lid above a component representing two hands, which visually suggests the act of casting something away. This character is frequently used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese (where it is read as "ki" or "suteru"), and Korean (where it is pronounced "gi"), appearing in words like "放棄" (fàngqì) meaning "to give up" or "abandon" in Chinese, and "廃棄" (haiki) meaning "disposal" in Japanese. Its structure and meaning have remained consistent across centuries of written East Asian text.
