U+7256 "牖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7256 "牖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a window, specifically a latticed or casement window, often found in classical architecture and literature. Composed of the radical "片" (meaning a sheet or slice, often associated with wood or plank) and the phonetic component "牖" derived from "牗", its original meaning refers to a small opening in a wall for light and air, but it has come to symbolize enlightenment or revelation in cultural contexts, as the concept of a "window" metaphorically extends to insight or knowledge. In ancient texts, such as the Dao De Jing, it appears in phrases like "牖户" to denote a door or window, and its usage reflects the architectural and philosophical heritage of premodern East Asia.
