U+731C "猜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+731C "猜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to guess," "to conjecture," or "to suspect." It is commonly used in modern Chinese and Japanese writing, appearing in everyday vocabulary such as 猜测 (cāicè) for "guess" or "speculate" and 猜疑 (cāiyí) for "suspicion." The character is composed of the radical 犭 (quǎn, meaning "dog" or "beast") on the left, which hints at a primitive or instinctive action, and the phonetic component 青 (qīng, meaning "blue" or "green") on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. Historically, the character's form has evolved from ancient scripts, maintaining its core semantic association with uncertain or inferential thinking. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it represents a key linguistic element for expressing doubt, estimation, or logical deduction across multiple East Asian languages.
