U+733F "猿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

猿

U+733F "猿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that primarily means "monkey" or "ape," specifically referring to primates in the biological sense. In classical and modern Chinese, it often denotes the gibbon or macaque species, while in Japanese, it can also carry the same meaning and is used in words like "猿人" (enjin, meaning "ape-man") and in idioms such as "猿も木から落ちる" (even monkeys fall from trees, meaning even experts make mistakes). This character is composed of two radicals: the left side "犭" (animal radical) and the right side "爰" (a phonetic component suggesting the sound), and it appears in various compound words across East Asian languages, often symbolizing cleverness, mischief, or primal nature in cultural contexts.
