U+820A "舊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+820A "舊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "old," "former," or "of the past," often used to describe something ancient, previous, or outmoded. Its structure is composed of the radical for "bird" or "short-tailed bird" atop a component suggesting "a container" or "to store," though its original form in oracle bone script depicted a bird in a nest, symbolizing something familiar or longstanding. In modern usage, it appears in words like "舊朋友" for an old friend or "舊時代" for a bygone era, and it remains distinct from its simplified counterpart "旧" in Chinese writing systems. This character is integral to expressing continuity and retrospection across historical texts and everyday language in both Chinese and Japanese contexts.
