Unicode Version 17.0
爸
U+7238 "爸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "father" or "dad" and is widely used in Mandarin Chinese and other languages that employ Chinese characters, such as Japanese and Korean. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the radical 父 (meaning "father" or "male parent") on top and the phonetic component 巴 beneath it, which gives an approximate sound cue in Mandarin. The character is frequently used in everyday speech as both a formal and informal term of address for one's father, and it also appears in compound words like 爸爸 (bàba) to mean "dad" in a familial context.
