U+6A31 "樱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
樱
U+6A31 "樱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the cherry blossom, specifically the cherry tree or its flower, and is integral to East Asian cultures, particularly in Japan and China, where it symbolizes beauty, transience, and renewal. In Japanese, this character is used in the word "sakura" (桜), though the simplified Chinese form "樱" appears in compounds like "樱花" (yīnghuā) for cherry blossom. The character is composed of the wood or tree radical (木) and the phonetic component "婴" (yīng), which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin. This ideograph is deeply embedded in poetry, art, and seasonal festivals, often evoking the fleeting elegance of cherry blossoms in bloom.
