U+6C0F "氏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6C0F "氏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a clan, family name, or lineage, often used as a suffix for surnames or to indicate a specific house or school of thought. In its historical and modern usage across East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, it appears in compounds like "姓氏" meaning surname, and in Japanese it can serve as a respectful title after a family name or refer to a clan group such as the Minamoto clan ("Genji"). The character's form consists of a single horizontal stroke atop a simplified lower component, and it has been in continuous use for millennia, appearing in ancient oracle bone script as a pictograph representing a root or foundation. As a common logograph, it carries cultural significance in conveying identity and heritage.
