U+73ED "班" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
班
U+73ED "班" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "team," "class," "shift," or "rank," and it is commonly used in modern language to denote organized groups of people, such as a school class (班级), a work shift (值班), or a squad (班组). Its structure combines the radical 王 (jade or king) on the left with the component 刂 (knife) on the right, reflecting its historical etymology from the concept of cutting jade into graded pieces or arranging things in order. This character appears frequently in both everyday vocabulary and formal contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
