Unicode Version 17.0
艺
U+827A "艺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "art," "skill," or "craft." This character is widely used in modern Chinese and Japanese, where it forms the basis for words like "艺术" (yìshù, meaning art) and "工艺" (gōngyì, meaning craftsmanship). Originally derived from ancient scripts, its traditional form was 藝, which depicted a person planting a tree, symbolizing cultivation and technique. As a simplified character standardized in mainland China, "艺" retains these core connotations of practiced ability and aesthetic expression.
