U+7EC3 "练" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7EC3 "练" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to practice," "to train," or "to drill," and it also conveys the idea of being skilled or experienced. It is a simplified form of the traditional character "練," which originated from the radical for "silk" (纟) combined with the phonetic component "柬," historically relating to the process of softening raw silk by boiling it—a metaphor for refinement through repeated effort. In modern usage, this character appears in common words such as "练习" (practice) and "训练" (training), and it is widely employed in educational, athletic, and professional contexts to denote the act of honing skills or performing routine drills. The character is classified under the Kangxi radical 120 (糸) and is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, making it accessible for digital text across various languages and platforms.
