U+89E3 "解" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+89E3 "解" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a common Chinese character that primarily means "to separate," "to untie," or "to solve," and it also conveys concepts of explanation, liberation, and understanding. It is composed of the radical for "horn" (角) on the left and components representing a "knife" (刀) and an "ox" (牛) on the right, which originally depicted the act of cutting apart an animal's horn, but over millennia has evolved to signify resolving problems or releasing from constraints. In modern usage, it appears in words such as “解决” (to solve) and “解释” (to explain), and it holds philosophical and cultural weight in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, often associated with ideas of unbinding or setting free in both everyday and literary contexts.
