U+7A31 "稱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
稱
U+7A31 "稱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to call," "to name," "to weigh," or "to praise," depending on context. It is composed of the radical 禾 (grain) on the left, suggesting an agricultural or measurement connection, and the phonetic component 爯 on the right. In historical and modern usage, the character appears in terms like 稱呼 (address or title) and 平衡 (balance or equilibrium), and it is also frequently used in classical texts to denote acts of weighing or commending. This character remains common in Traditional Chinese, Japanese (as 称), and Korean Hanja, reflecting its enduring relevance in East Asian written language.
