U+7279 "特" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
特
U+7279 "特" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "special," "unique," or "particular." It is commonly used in words such as "特別" (tèbié) meaning "especially" and "特色" (tèsè) meaning "characteristic" or "distinctive feature." The character is composed of the radical 牛 (niú, meaning "cow" or "ox") on the left and the phonetic component 寺 (sì, meaning "temple") on the right, reflecting its historical formation as a phono-semantic compound. In modern usage, "特" appears frequently in both formal and conversational contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where it retains a sense of something set apart or distinguished from the ordinary.
