Unicode Version 17.0

气

U+6C14 "气" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Chinese character that represents "air," "gas," "breath," or "vital energy" (often translated as "qi" or "chi"), and it serves as the 84th radical in the Kangxi system of Chinese character classification. Visually, it depicts a stylized form of rising vapor or steam, and it is commonly used in compound words related to weather, atmosphere, and metaphysical concepts, such as "天气" (tiānqì, weather), "气体" (qìtǐ, gas), and "气血" (qìxuè, vital energy and blood). In traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine, this symbol is profoundly significant as it embodies the life force that flows through all living things, making it a core concept in practices like qigong and feng shui. The character is also used in other CJK languages, including Japanese, where it is read as "ki" or "ke," appearing in terms like "元気" (genki, healthy or energetic).
