U+7FA9 "義" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7FA9 "義" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of righteousness, justice, or moral propriety, and it holds deep cultural and philosophical significance across East Asian societies, particularly in Confucian thought where it is a core virtue. This character is commonly seen in classical texts, idioms, and modern contexts such as the word "義氣" (yìqì) meaning loyalty or a sense of honor among friends, or "正義" (zhèngyì) meaning justice. It is written with a complex structure of 13 strokes and is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, used in the logographic writing systems of these languages, though it often appears in a simplified form as "义" in mainland Chinese contexts.
