U+7D22 "索" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
索
U+7D22 "索" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to search," "to demand," or "a rope or cord," depending on context. It is composed of the radical for silk, which appears as a twisting thread element, and a phonetic component suggesting the sound "suo." In modern usage, it appears in common words like "suǒxìng" meaning "simply" or "might as well," and "suǒyǐn" meaning "index," while its classical sense of a rope or chain persists in literary and historical texts. This character is widely used in written Chinese and Japanese, where it also carries similar meanings and is included in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block of the Unicode standard under code point U+7D22.
