U+7ECF "经" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7ECF "经" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that commonly means "classic," "scripture," "pass through," or "to manage," and it is widely used in East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In traditional Chinese, this character is written as "經," with the simplified form "经" being standard in mainland China. It appears in foundational texts such as the "Yi Jing" or "Book of Changes" and in modern contexts like "jingji" for economy or "jingguo" for having undergone something. The character is composed of the radical for silk (糸) on the left, which hints at its original meaning related to weaving or the warp of fabric, and the phonetic component on the right contributes to its pronunciation.
