U+7528 "用" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

用

U+7528 "用" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Chinese character that translates to "use," "employ," or "function" in English, and it is one of the most common kanji in Japanese as well as a standard character in Korean Hanja. Its visual structure typically resembles a container with a vertical line through it, originating from ancient oracle bone script where it depicted a type of ritual vessel or a method of application. In modern contexts, this character appears in everyday vocabulary such as "使用" (usage) and "作用" (effect) across East Asian languages, and it is classified under the Kangxi radical number 101, which corresponds to the radical for "use" or "employ." With its frequent occurrence in written communication, "用" serves as an essential building block for expressing functionality and practical action.
