U+773E "眾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+773E "眾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that signifies a large group of people, conveying the meaning of "crowd," "multitude," or "public." It is composed of the radical 血 (blood or vessel) at the top, suggested to derive from the image of many people gathered under a common cause or canopy, and the bottom element 乑 (a variant of 众, meaning many people), reinforcing the idea of numerous individuals. This character is historically prevalent in Classical Chinese and remains in use in traditional Chinese text, Taiwanese Mandarin, and Japanese kanji, where it is pronounced "shū" in on'yomi and denotes a collective group, contrasting with its simplified counterpart 众 which is standard in modern simplified Chinese script.
