Unicode Version 17.0
極
U+6975 "極" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "extremely," "utmost," or "pole" as in the north or south pole, and it carries deep philosophical connotations in East Asian cultures. In Confucianism and Daoism, it appears in the term "Taiji" (Supreme Ultimate), representing the fundamental principle of the universe from which yin and yang arise. The character is also used in words like "extreme" or "ultimate" in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and its radical is the wood-radical suggesting a ridgepole or the highest point, which visually reinforces its meaning of finality or pinnacle.
