U+7EB5 "纵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7EB5 "纵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "vertical," "to release," "to indulge," or "even if" depending on context, and it is commonly used in modern Standard Chinese as both a standalone word and a component in compound terms. In its visual form, it is composed of the radical for silk or thread on the left side to suggest binding or continuity, and a phonetic component on the right that influences pronunciation. This character appears in everyday vocabulary such as "纵横" meaning "vertical and horizontal" or "with ease," and "纵然" meaning "even though." As a member of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is encoded for use across multiple East Asian languages including Japanese and Korean, where it may carry similar meanings like "vertical" in Japanese or "always" in Korean hanja readings.
