U+795E "神" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+795E "神" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) ideograph that represents the concept of a deity, god, spirit, or divine being. In Chinese, it is pronounced *shén* and is deeply embedded in cultural and religious contexts, often referring to gods in Taoism and folk religion, as well as spiritual energy or the soul. In Japanese, it is read as *kami* or *shin*, and is central to Shinto belief, denoting the myriad spirits or natural forces revered in shrines. The character is composed of the radical 礻 (indicating matters related to spirits or rituals) and the phonetic component 申, which also carries connotations of extending or expressing. As a fundamental character across East Asian writing systems, it appears in common words like *shinto* (神道, "the way of the gods") and *seishin* (精神, "spirit" or "mind").
