U+7740 "着" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

着

U+7740 "着" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex and widely used character in East Asian languages where it primarily carries meanings related to attachment, wearing, or a state of action, depending on the context and language. In Chinese, it commonly denotes "to wear" or "to touch" as a verb, while also serving as a grammatical particle indicating a continuous or progressive aspect when placed after a verb, such as in "看着" meaning "looking at." In Japanese, it functions similarly as a suffix for ongoing actions or as a verb meaning "to put on" (e.g., clothing). With its roots in classical usage and its frequent appearance in modern writing, "着" exemplifies the versatility of CJK characters in conveying both concrete and grammatical nuances across different linguistic systems.
