U+8258 "艘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

艘

U+8258 "艘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily as a measure word for vessels such as boats and ships, and it also appears in compound words related to maritime navigation. In modern Chinese, it is commonly paired with numerals to count watercraft, for example "一艘船" meaning "one boat" or "one ship". The character's structure combines the radical for "boat" or "vessel" (舟) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to water transport and its historical development within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) script system. Its usage is consistent across various East Asian languages that incorporate Chinese characters, though its frequency and specific applications may vary.
