U+795D "祝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

祝

U+795D "祝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that typically signifies wishes, blessings, or prayers, often appearing in contexts like congratulations, festive greetings, or religious offerings. It is commonly used in phrases such as "祝福" (zhùfú) meaning "to bless" or "祝贺" (zhùhè) meaning "to congratulate," reflecting its role in expressing goodwill and auspicious sentiments. The character combines the radical 礻 (shì, representing spirit or deity) on the left, indicating its connection to ritual and divine favor, with the component 兄 (xiōng, older brother) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and ancient semantic associations with oral supplication. This ideograph is found in multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it retains similar meanings tied to ceremonial well-wishing.
