Unicode Version 17.0
若
U+82E5 "若" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the core meanings of "like," "as if," or "if," often used to express similarity, conditionality, or analogy in Classical and modern Chinese. It is also a common component in compound words and phrases, such as "若是" meaning "if" or "好像" meaning "seem like." In Japanese, it is read as "waku" or "nyaku" in on'yomi and "moshi" in kun'yomi, and it can function similarly in literary contexts. The character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and the phonetic element 右 (you), contributing to its historical and linguistic role across East Asian writing systems.
