歌

U+6B4C "歌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it primarily signifies the concept of "song" or "to sing." This character, classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, has a rich etymological history; its structure combines the semantic radical for "lack" or "yawn" with components suggesting vocal expression, reflecting its ancient association with chanting or melodic recitation. In modern contexts, "歌" appears in common words such as Chinese "gē" (song or singer), Japanese "uta" (poem or song), and Korean "ga" (in compound terms like "gayo" for popular music), underscoring its enduring role in expressing artistic vocal performance across cultures.
