U+8086 "肆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
肆
U+8086 "肆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that traditionally represents the number four, serving as the formal or financial numeral in contexts where preventing forgery or alteration is important, such as on banknotes or legal documents. Beyond its numeric use, it also conveys meanings of "unrestrained," "indulgent," or "wanton," and appears in classical texts and modern language to describe behavior that is excessive or without restraint, as seen in phrases like "放肆" meaning "brazen" or "audacious." In calligraphy, its intricate structure and multiple strokes make it a recognizable element of the Chinese writing system, rooted in historical usage from oracle bone scripts to contemporary digital representation.
