U+820E "舎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+820E "舎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character classified as a variant of the more common character "舍," which generally conveys meanings related to a house, building, shelter, or to put aside or give up. In Japanese, this specific glyph, often referred to as the "simplified" or "narrow" form, is used in contexts like "校舎" (kōsha, school building) or "舎弟" (shatei, younger brother or henchman), whereas in Chinese, the standard form "舍" is typically preferred. The character is composed of the radical for tongue or speech (舌) atop a component representing a roof or shelter, reflecting its semantic connection to a place where one might dwell or take pause. Its usage is most prominent in Japanese writing systems, where it appears in both kanji compounds and as part of proper nouns, distinguishing it from its broader variant in other Sinospheric languages.
