U+7CA7 "粧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
粧
U+7CA7 "粧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji that primarily means "cosmetics," "to make up," or "to adorn." It is composed of the rice radical on the left, which visually relates to the character's historical connection to rice powder used in face makeup, and the phonetic component on the right. In modern usage, this character appears in words such as "化粧" (makeup) in Japanese and "化粧品" (cosmetics) in both Japanese and Chinese contexts. While it is essentially a variant of the simplified Chinese character "妆," the traditional form "粧" carries a more specific and slightly archaic nuance, often emphasizing the act of applying makeup or personal adornment rather than general decoration.
