U+7E2E "縮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7E2E "縮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean logogram that primarily conveys the meanings of "to shrink," "to contract," "to reduce," or "to draw back." In Chinese, it is commonly used in words like "壓縮" meaning compression, and "縮小" meaning to diminish in size. In Japanese, it appears in compounds such as "縮小" (shukushō) for reduction and "縮む" (chijimu) for something that shrinks. The character combines the radical for thread or silk (糸) as a semantic component, suggesting a binding or tightening action, with the phonetic component "宿" (meaning to lodge or stay), though the phonetic link is less direct in modern pronunciation. Its usage spans technical, everyday, and literary contexts across East Asian languages, reflecting a core concept of contraction or constraint.
