U+8ACB "請" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8ACB "請" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that means "to ask," "to request," or "please," and it is commonly used in formal or polite contexts across East Asian languages, including Japanese (as the kanji "sei" or "shou") and Korean (as "cheong"). In Chinese, it appears in phrases like "請問" (qǐngwèn, meaning "excuse me" or "may I ask") and "邀請" (yāoqǐng, meaning "invitation"), conveying deference or civility. The character is composed of the radical "言" (speech) on the left and "青" (green or blue) on the right, though the latter primarily serves a phonetic function to indicate pronunciation. As a component in written communication, it reflects the cultural importance of politeness and hierarchy in many East Asian societies.
