U+7843 "硃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
硃
U+7843 "硃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used to denote a bright red or vermilion color, often associated with cinnabar (mercury sulfide) or red ink. In historical contexts, it was commonly employed for writing official comments or marks on documents, especially in imperial China, where cinnabar powder was used as a pigment. The character consists of the radical for "stone" (石) and the phonetic component "朱" which also means "red," reflecting both its material origins and its color meaning.
