U+8584 "薄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
薄
U+8584 "薄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, commonly meaning "thin," "weak," "light," or "meager," and can also denote "to treat lightly" or "to despise." In its ancient Chinese context, it often appears in classical texts to describe thin objects like fabric or paper, or in a metaphorical sense for insubstantiality or ungenerous behavior. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and the phonetic component 溥, contributing to its semantic and phonological dimensions across East Asian scripts.
