U+7D04 "約" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
約
U+7D04 "約" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese character that primarily conveys the concepts of promise, agreement, or approximation. In Japanese, it is often used in words like "約束" (yakusoku, meaning promise) and "約" (yaku, meaning approximately), while in Chinese it appears in terms such as "約會" (yuēhuì, meaning date or appointment) and "大約" (dàyuē, meaning roughly or about). Its structure combines the radical for silk or thread (糸) with a phonetic component, reflecting its historical associations with binding or contracting. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, this character is widely employed across East Asian writing systems for formal, legal, and everyday contexts.
