U+7701 "省" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7701 "省" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. It commonly means "province" in modern Chinese, as in administrative divisions, but it also carries broader meanings such as "to save" or "to reduce," "to examine oneself," or "to omit." This character is composed of two radical components, "目" meaning "eye" and "少" meaning "few" or "less," though its historical etymology reflects a pictographic origin denoting a careful inspection, which later evolved into its dual roles of management and frugality. In Japanese, it appears in terms like 省庁 (shōchō) for "government ministry," while in Korean it is used in words such as 절약 (jeoryak) for "saving." The character is classified under the Kangxi radical 109 (目) and has a Unicode block that includes over twenty thousand other CJK unified ideographs standardized for digital text across East Asian languages.
