U+7947 "祇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7947 "祇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with two primary meanings and pronunciations, reflecting its historical and cultural significance. In standard Mandarin, it is pronounced "qi" (or "shi" in some contexts) and most commonly denotes a term for "earth spirit" or "local deity," often appearing in classical texts to refer to the gods of the land and soil, distinct from heavenly spirits. Additionally, it can carry the meaning "only" or "merely" when pronounced "zhi" in certain usages, though this is less common and primarily seen in literary or archaic contexts. The character belongs to the Kangxi radicals and has been used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, representing both spiritual concepts and nuanced grammatical functions.
