U+6B24 "欤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
欤
U+6B24 "欤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used as a classical literary particle, often functioning as a modal particle at the end of a sentence to express doubt, rhetorical questioning, or exclamation, similar in usage to "吗" (ma) or "呢" (ne) in modern Mandarin but with an archaic or poetic flavor. It is composed of the radical "欠" (qiàn), meaning "lack" or "yawn," and the phonetic component "与" (yǔ), which itself can mean "and" or "to give." Today, the character is rarely used in everyday writing but appears in classical texts, poetry, and formal literary contexts, contributing to its status as a specialized component of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideograph set.
