U+7532 "甲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
甲
U+7532 "甲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that originates from ancient Chinese writing, where it originally depicted a seed breaking through the ground or a protective shell, symbolizing the concept of "first" or "primary." In modern usage, it serves as the first of the ten Heavenly Stems in the traditional Chinese sexagenary cycle, often used to denote ranking, armor, or a shell, as in the word "铠甲" (armor). It also appears in compound words related to the number one, such as "甲等" (first grade), and in the name of the year, month, or day in Chinese calendrical systems, while in Japanese it can refer to "shell" or "carapace" as well as being a common component in personal names.
