U+72AF "犯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
犯
U+72AF "犯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to violate," "to offend," or "criminal," and it is commonly used in words related to crime, transgression, or attack. Composed of the radical 犭 (dog) on the left and the phonetic component 㠯 on the right, its structure metaphorically links animalistic behavior to acts of aggression or lawbreaking. In modern usage, it appears in terms such as 罪犯 (zuìfàn, criminal), 犯法 (fànfǎ, to break the law), and 侵犯 (qīnfàn, to infringe upon), making it a core element in legal and social contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages where it is shared as a hanzi, kanji, or hanja character.
