U+6BD8 "毘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
毘
U+6BD8 "毘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji or Chinese character that primarily means "to help," "to assist," or "to be adjacent," and it is also historically used as a variant form of the character "毗" which refers to the skin around the navel or a type of support. This character appears in East Asian languages, notably in Japanese where it is used in place names and Buddhist terms, such as in "毘沙門天" (Bishamonten), the god of war and fortune, and in classical Chinese texts. Its structure combines the radical for "compare" or "together" with components suggesting closeness or aid, reflecting its core semantic associations of assistance or proximity.
