U+7E23 "縣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
縣
U+7E23 "縣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "county" or "district" and is a key administrative division in historical and modern East Asian contexts, particularly in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. This character is composed of the radical for thread or silk on the left side, and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its original meaning of something suspended or hung, which later evolved to denote a territorial subdivision. In simplified Chinese, it is represented as "县", and it remains in active use in official place names, cultural references, and historical texts across the Sinosphere.
