U+8209 "舉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
舉
U+8209 "舉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to lift," "to raise," "to elevate," or "to cite," and it is commonly used in classical and modern East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This ideograph has a rich historical usage in compound words such as "舉行" (to hold or conduct an event) and "舉止" (bearing or manner), reflecting actions of physical raising or figurative promotion. Its structure combines the radical for "hand" with phonetic and semantic components, and it is distinguished from its simplified counterpart "举" by having more strokes and a traditional composition.
