U+7D20 "素" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
素
U+7D20 "素" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional and simplified Chinese character that generally conveys the meaning of "plain," "unadorned," "element," or "basic substance," and is widely used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In its etymology, the character originally depicted raw, undyed silk, which led to its broader connotations of simplicity and fundamental nature. It appears in common terms such as "元素" (element), "素质" (quality or character), and "朴素" (simple and unpretentious). The character is classified under the Kangxi radical 120 for silk (糸), and its Unicode encoding allows for consistent digital representation across platforms, supporting its role in linguistic and cultural exchange.
