U+770C "県" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+770C "県" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or simplified form of the character "縣" (xiàn, meaning "county" or "prefecture"), and it is most commonly used in the Japanese writing system where it represents a "prefecture," such as in the names of Japan's administrative divisions like Tokyo-to or Osaka-fu. In traditional Chinese, "縣" is the standard form, but "県" appears as a simplified variant in some contexts, particularly in Japanese kanji where it has been adapted and simplified from its historical form. It is composed of the radical "目" (eye) on top and the component "小" (small) below, though its original structure derived from a more complex combination indicating a suspended administrative unit.
