U+7A0D "稍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

稍

U+7A0D "稍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. It carries the core meaning of "a little," "slightly," or "somewhat," functioning as an adverb to indicate a small degree or amount, such as in the common phrase "稍微" (shāowēi). The character is composed of a semantic radical related to grain or rice on the left side, suggesting a connection to small quantities, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation. In Japanese, it is read as "shō" in on'yomi and "sukoshi" or "sukoshi" in kun'yomi, and it is included in the Jōyō Kanji list for everyday use. This ideograph is widely utilized in formal and informal contexts to express moderation or subtlety in descriptions and instructions.
