U+6A5F "機" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
機
U+6A5F "機" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (also used in Japanese and Korean) that primarily conveys the concept of a machine, device, or mechanism, as well as opportunity, chance, or occasion depending on context. It is composed of the radical "木" (wood) suggesting a material origin, and the phonetic component "幾" which contributes to its pronunciation and meaning of subtlety or timing. Historically, it represented a loom or a mechanical trigger, evolving to encompass modern inventions like computers (e.g., "計算機") and abstract notions such as timing ("時機") or secret plans ("機密"). This character is widely used in East Asian languages and carries nuanced significance in discussions of technology, strategy, and fate.
