U+767C "發" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+767C "發" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental character in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languages, where it carries the core meaning of "to send out," "to emit," or "to issue," as well as broader connotations such as "to develop," "to become," or "to reveal." In Simplified Chinese, it is often written as 发, while Traditional Chinese retains the full form 發, which is also used in Japanese and Korean Hanja. This character appears in many common words, such as 發現 (to discover), 發展 (development), and 發射 (to launch), and it is part of the Kangxi radical list under radical 105 (癶). Historically, it is derived from ancient pictographic origins, often associated with the action of shooting an arrow or projecting something outward, reflecting its semantic range of movement and release.
