U+8088 "肈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8088 "肈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to commence" or "to begin," often associated with initiating an action or undertaking, and it is also used as a component in words like "肇事" meaning "to cause trouble" or "to create an incident." This character is composed of the radical 肀 (yu, meaning "pen" or "writing") and the phonetic component 肇 (zhao), from which it derives its pronunciation and much of its meaning, and it falls under the category of traditional Chinese characters used in both Classical Chinese and modern contexts. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, it is encoded in Unicode to support the digital representation of East Asian scripts, allowing for its consistent use across computing systems and text processing.
