U+8217 "舗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8217 "舗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in East Asian writing systems, most notably in Japanese, where it serves as a simplified variant or standard form of the character 舗, commonly meaning "shop," "store," or "pavement." In Japanese, it appears in words like 舗装 (hosō, meaning "paving" or "road surface") and in compound terms for retail establishments, though it is less frequent than its counterpart 舗 in modern usage. The character is composed of the radical 舌 (tongue) and the phonetic component 甫, and it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. Its history reflects regional orthographic standardization, particularly in postwar Japan, where it was adopted as a shinjitai (simplified form) for certain contexts.
