U+7ADE "竞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7ADE "竞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to compete," "to contend," or "to vie," and it is commonly used in modern Mandarin as a simplified form of the traditional character 競. In compound words, it appears in terms like 竞争 (jìngzhēng, competition) and 竞选 (jìngxuǎn, to run for election), emphasizing rivalry or striving for a goal. Structurally, this character is composed of two simpler components, with the top part resembling a variant of "stand" or "sound" and the bottom part derived from "elder brother," though its historical etymology reflects an abstract sense of exertion and comparison. Its Unicode encoding allows the character to be consistently represented across digital systems, facilitating its use in East Asian texts and global communication.
