U+8332 "茲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茲
U+8332 "茲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "this" or "here" in classical and modern Chinese, though it also carries the extended meanings of "now" or "thus" in literary contexts. It is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and a phonetic component, and it is often used in formal or archaic expressions. In Japanese, this character is known as "koko" or "shi" and appears in kanji compounds like "今回" (konkai) meaning "this time" or "茲に" (koko ni) meaning "hereby" or "now." The character is distinct from its simplified variant "兹" (U+5179), which is more commonly used in simplified Chinese scripts.
