U+6A84 "檄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

檄

U+6A84 "檄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally pronounced *xí* in Mandarin, which primarily denotes a written call to arms, an official proclamation, or a summons, especially one issued in ancient and imperial China to mobilize troops or announce a punitive expedition. It is a composite ideograph, combining the "wood" radical (木) on the left to suggest the material of the wooden or bamboo slips used for writing, with phonetic and semantic components on the right. Beyond military usage, the character can also refer to any urgent official notice or an edict that demands immediate action. In modern contexts, it appears in historical texts and literary references, but it remains a formal and evocative term tied to classical Chinese governance and warfare.
