Unicode Version 17.0
U+798F "福" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "blessing," "happiness," or "good fortune," and it is one of the most culturally significant characters in East Asian societies, particularly in China, where it is commonly displayed during the Lunar New Year and other celebrations. Often written on red paper and posted upside down on doors, a practice that plays on the word for "arrive" to mean "fortune has arrived," this character embodies deep-rooted wishes for prosperity, luck, and positive energy.
