U+793B "礻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+793B "礻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Kangxi radical variant, specifically the left-hand form of radical 113, which represents the concept of "spirit" or "deity." This component, visually similar to the full radical 示 but simplified into four strokes when used as a left radical, appears in numerous Chinese characters related to spiritual matters, rituals, or blessings, such as 礼 (ceremony) and 社 (society). In script, it conveys an abstract connection to divine or sacred elements, often indicating a character's semantic field tied to prayer, worship, or spiritual well-being. Its inclusion in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block underscores its foundational role in the logographic writing systems of East Asia, serving as a building block for more complex characters across multiple languages.
