U+79F0 "称" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
称
U+79F0 "称" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily carries the meanings of "to weigh," "to call," "to name," or "to praise," and it is frequently used in modern Mandarin as a component in words related to measurement and appellation. In its traditional form, this character is often seen in the compound "稱" (traditional) versus "称" (simplified) in standard Chinese writing, where the simplified version removes the "禾" (grain) radical for a slightly simplified structure. This character appears in common terms such as "名称" (míngchēng, meaning "name" or "title") and "对称" (duìchèn, meaning "symmetry"), illustrating its versatility in both concrete and abstract contexts.
