U+767D "白" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

白

U+767D "白" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram representing the concept of the color white, clarity, or brightness, and it is one of the most fundamental characters in the Chinese writing system, as well as in Japanese and Korean. Its origins trace back to ancient oracle bone script, where it was pictorially derived from a flame or the sun, symbolizing light and purity. In modern usage, it appears in a wide range of vocabulary, from common words like "white" (e.g., 白色) to philosophical and cultural terms such as "plain" or "in vain." The character also serves as a radical in other CJK characters, influencing meanings related to brightness or blankness, and it holds significance in traditional Chinese color symbolism where white is associated with mourning and metal elements in Wu Xing cosmology.
