U+6B21 "次" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
次
U+6B21 "次" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "next," "order," "sequence," or "time" when used as a classifier for occurrences. It is composed of the radical 欠 (meaning "to lack" or "to yawn") on the right and the component 二 (meaning "two") on the left, though its original form in oracle bone script depicted a person stopping or pausing, later evolving to signify something that follows or ranks after. In modern Chinese and Japanese usage, it appears in common words such as "次回" (next time), "次第" (order or depending on), and "目次" (table of contents).
