U+6AA2 "檢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6AA2 "檢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to check," "to examine," or "to inspect," and it also carries the sense of something used during such a process, such as a label or a model. In traditional Chinese and Korean (hanja) usage, this character appears in words like "檢查" (inspection) and "検討" (consideration), though its simplified counterpart in modern Chinese is "检" (U+68C0). The character’s composition includes the wood radical on the left, hinting at its historical connection to wooden slips or tags used for verification, and a right component that contributes to its phonetic value. Across different East Asian languages, "檢" retains a formal tone, often appearing in legal, administrative, and technical contexts, such as "檢察官" (prosecutor) in Chinese or "검사" (inspection) in Korean.
