U+7BC4 "範" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
範
U+7BC4 "範" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily signifies a model, pattern, example, or standard, often used in contexts relating to norms or templates. Its etymology stems from the radical “竹” (bamboo), reflecting an ancient connection to bamboo molds or frames used for casting metal, which underscores the idea of a fixed shape or rule. In Japanese, it is read as “han” and appears in words such as “範囲” (han’i, meaning range or scope), and in Korean as “범” (beom), as in “범위” (beomwi, meaning range). This character is frequently employed in formal, academic, or technical writing to denote a prototype, limitation, or regulatory framework, carrying a connotation of authority and established order.
