U+8206 "舆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
舆
U+8206 "舆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "carriage," "chariot," or "palanquin," and by extension, it conveys the sense of "public" or "popular opinion" as seen in compounds like 舆论 (yúlùn, meaning "public opinion"). In classical texts, it originally referred to a vehicle or the earth itself, with the radical 车 (che, "vehicle") and the phonetic component 舁 (yu, "to lift together") suggesting a shared mode of transport. This character is commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to discuss topics related to mass sentiment, public affairs, and media discourse.
