U+76F8 "相" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
相
U+76F8 "相" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with the core meaning of "mutual" or "each other," often used in compound words to denote reciprocity, such as in "相互" (xiānghù, mutual) or "相信" (xiāngxìn, to believe in each other). It also carries the secondary meaning of "appearance" or "phase," as seen in "照片" (zhàopiàn, photograph) and "相位" (xiāngwèi, phase). This character consists of the radical "目" (eye) combined with "木" (tree), traditionally interpreted as visually inspecting a tree, symbolizing careful observation or interaction between two entities. In various East Asian scripts including Japanese and Korean, "相" holds similar semantic ranges, appearing in formal and everyday contexts from language to physics.
