U+7121 "無" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7121 "無" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it primarily conveys the concept of "nothing" or "without." Its fundamental meaning denotes absence, negation, or the lack of something, and it is a common component in words such as the Chinese "wú" meaning "not have" and the Japanese "mu" which appears in Buddhist terms like "mujō," signifying impermanence. The character's structure, with its intricate strokes, originates from ancient Chinese oracle bone script, where it was pictorially linked to a dance or a festive display, later evolving to represent the philosophical idea of non existence. In modern usage, it appears in contexts ranging from everyday language to profound philosophical and religious texts, particularly in Zen Buddhism where it symbolizes the void or the state of being without attachment.
