U+78A7 "碧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
碧
U+78A7 "碧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "bluish green" or "azure," often evoking the rich color of clear water or precious stones like jade. In classical and modern usage, it appears in words such as 碧玉 (bìyù) meaning "green jade" and 碧空 (bìkōng) referring to a blue sky. The character is composed of the radical 石 (stone) combined with 白 (white) and a phonetic component, reflecting its association with the translucent green hue of certain minerals. Beyond its literal color designation, "碧" carries cultural and poetic connotations of freshness, vitality, and natural beauty in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems where it is used.
