U+89E6 "触" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

触

U+89E6 "触" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to touch" or "to contact," and it also conveys the sense of "to strike" or "to provoke," as well as metaphorical uses like "to move emotionally." Its modern form combines the radical 角 (horn) on the left, hinting at the original notion of an animal striking with its horns, and the phonetic component 虫 (insect or creature) on the right. In East Asian languages, including Chinese and Japanese, this character appears in everyday words such as "接触" (to contact) and "触発" (to trigger or inspire). It is encoded as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode Standard, allowing for consistent digital representation across systems for over a billion users of Chinese and Japanese writing.
