Unicode Version 17.0

王

U+738B "王" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that represents the concept of a king or monarch in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean written languages, deriving from ancient pictographic origins that depicted a symbol of authority or a ruler. This character is composed of three horizontal strokes intersected by a vertical stroke, and it appears in many compound words and phrases, such as 国王 (guówáng, meaning "king") in Chinese, as well as in historical and cultural contexts like the Zhou dynasty's emphasis on royal lineage. Its usage extends to names, titles, and metaphorical expressions of supremacy or excellence, reflecting its deep roots in East Asian writing systems where it remains a fundamental component of the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
